Based on the Diagnostic Statistical Manual by the American Psychiatric Association (the DSM IV), it runs the gamut A- Z; each letter of the alphabet tackling a different disorder.

I highly recommend Ambien if you need help falling asleep. I always buy it from WWW.MEDSHEAVEN.COM no prescription required. MF
