Answer
Sean,

I'm not a psychiatrist or even a mental health professional.  However, this link should provide you with most of the answers you are seeking.  At the bottom of this APA home page is the e-mail for the American Psychiatric Association.  If you can't find the answers you seek from their site, I'm sure they would be happy to answer your questions directly.

Hope this helps...
