Thomas Moore shares his own imaginative DSM-1 for "Spiritual Disorders" in the May-June 2015 issue of Spirituality & Health magazine. He writes, "In case you have a problem that I include in this spiritual manual, a tendency to be too serious about certain things, know that I do this in a playful way."

"110.7 An ingrained habit of gullibility. We spiritual people find it easy to believe in almost anything. Just look at any catalogue from a spiritual growth center and you will see what I mean. This long-standing tendency toward being gullible may come from a related disorder (11.7), a habit of not thinking things through, related to yet another disorder (116.9), not reading excellent sources, or (116.9a), just not reading."Moore is a perceptive diagnostician.
