  > Where is that definition from? I couldn't find it in DSM-5. The term defines itself. I assume you understand what is meant by Privacy Derangement Syndrome, something like: valuing privacy above all other virtues. For example, somebody who refuses to use a mobile phone due to iOS privacy concerns, and falls out of touch with family and friends. But I don't even really appreciate this point even as a joke. The idea that every possible mental malady is constrained and gatekept by a single book seems entirely too rigid. The subjective view of privacy has some value, I'll grant that, but so to does a municipality preparing to lay infrastructure to support a growing population. When it comes to tangible value, the census is one of the most well-known value-adding resources I can think of. I almost never argue against privacy, and policies and measures protecting individual privacy. But the US census is value-adding for research, policy, and individual purposes, let there be no doubt.

    The true derangement is using iOS in spite of abuse just to stay in touch with family and friends.
