Hikikomori: Diagnostic Criteria

In this post I discuss the recently proposed diagnostic criteria for hikikomori, the Japanese term for a relatively severe form of difficulty at the cusp of adulthood. Do we need yet another psychiatric diagnosis? Or is it essential in order to study the problem? Whaddaya think?

I have a course called "The Parent Trap" for parents of young adults in this situation, available here: https://bit.ly/3ci12Gi

I also provide continuing education online courses for professionals, as well as live and on-demand courses for the general public and organizations.
