DSM's goal is to become more active in the life science market, and it recently announced the acquisition of Roche vitamins and fine chemical division, which is a market leader in this segment.

American Psychiatric Association (2757 words)
DSM stands for "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" and is published by the American Psychiatric Association, the professional membership organization representing United States psychiatrists.
Another important aspect of the DSM diagnostic system is that the diagnoses are described strictly in terms of patterns of symptoms that tend to cluster together; the symptoms can be observed by the clinician or reported by the patient or family members.
Since the primary purpose of the early versions of the DSM was to standardize data collection administratively and to facilitate communication among clinicians, the diagnostic makeup of these early versions represented a consensus of those disorders that were being seen by psychiatrists in the United States in the 1950's and 1960's.
