And Phil no I've done the whole mmpi2 sha-bang, no such diagnosis
No it doesn't. I am a social worker getting my Masters in Clinical Social Work and am very familiar with the DSM-IV. It does not "recognize spiritual experiences" it states that serious religiosity may be associated with mental illness in the form of hearing voices, delusions, command hallucinations (auditory usually), etc... It speaks to "religious problems" but that is in relation to one being at odds with their family or cultures recieved religious practices or beliefs and the stress that tension can create. I posted the PTSD diagnostic criteria to clear up the PTSD question. Also, you asked a question about a supernatural experience on an atheists forum what did you think was going to happen? What are you looking for? Why even post at all?
