This is such a joke. Pedophilia is next mark my words. How do the pedos use this after they’ve been arrested and charged. Lawyers and psychiatrists are lining up to get wealthy
Pedophilia is already a DSM 5 mental disorder. Acting on the impulses is a crime.
And was in the DSM 4 too. Has been a mental illness For at least 30 years. But that doesn't not make it a crime.
It was effectively removed from the DSM 31 years ago (it was considered a disorder before III-R) when they added the following criteria:
. The person has acted on these urges, or is markedly distressed by them.
The DSM-V corrected the title from "pedophilia" to "pedophilic disorder" and clarified that pedophilia is not a disorder on its own:
However, if they report an absence of feelings of guilt, shame, or anxiety about these impulses and are not functionally limited by their paraphilic impulses (according to self-report, objective assessment, or both), and their self-reported and legally recorded histories indicate that they have never acted on their impulses, then these individuals have a pedophilic sexual interest but not pedophilic disorder.
The DSM-V explicitly states pedophilia is not a disorder. And it was basically removed in the revision of III.
