It was serialized between 1980 and 1981 in Futabasha 's Action Deluxe , with the chapters collected and published as a tankōbon in 1983. The main inspiration for Domu came partly from an apartment complex Otomo lived in when he first moved to Tokyo , and partly from a news report he heard about a rash of suicides that occurred at a separate apartment.

Although the diagnostic categories are referred to as 'disorders', they are presented as medical diseases, but are not validated in the same way as most medical diagnoses. Some neurologists argue that classification will only be reliable and valid when based on neurobiological features rather than clinical interview, while others suggest that

While she found the art in Akira to be "a bit dated," Dacey called the art in Domu "less mired in the 1980s" and praised the character art as refreshingly realistic. Barb Lien-Cooper of Sequential Tart described Domu as half- Akira and half- Mai, the Psychic Girl in both writing style and art, and called it creepy "character driven, intelligent reading." Although she felt

DSM-IV predicates the definition with caveats, stating that, as in the case with many medical terms, mental disorder "lacks a consistent operational definition that covers all situations", noting that different levels of abstraction can be used for medical definitions, including pathology, symptomology, deviance from a normal range, or etiology, and that the same

After being given another psychic attack by Old Cho, Takayama begins keeping watch on him. While doing so in

However, Garrity prefers Domu due to its single volume length trimming the story down to the essentials and for never losing sight of its human element by sticking to a single group of people in an apartment complex.

The first systematic description of global disability arising in youth, in 2011, found that among 10- to 24-year-olds nearly half of all disability (current and as estimated to continue) was due to psychiatric disabilities, including substance use disorders and conditions involving self-harm . Second to this were accidental injuries (mainly traffic collisions) accounting for 12 percent of disability, followed by communicable diseases at 10 percent.

3871-683: The brain and body. That is the point. In eliminating the nervous breakdown, psychiatry has come close to having its own nervous breakdown. Nerves stand at the core of common mental illness, no matter how much we try to forget them. "Nervous breakdown" is a pseudo-medical term to describe a wealth of stress-related feelings and they are often made worse by the belief that there is a real phenomenon called "nervous breakdown". There are currently two widely established systems that classify mental disorders: Both of these list categories of disorder and provide standardized criteria for diagnosis. They have deliberately converged their codes in recent revisions so that

The DSM and ICD approach remains under attack both because of the implied causality model and because some researchers believe it better to aim at underlying brain differences which can precede symptoms by many years.

Other classification schemes may be used in non-western cultures, for example, the Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders , and other manuals may be used by those of alternative theoretical persuasions, such as the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual .
