Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;
If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!"

May as well add DSM to the list. Stands for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual and is use to diagnose most illnesses.
Also, 'Dx' is a common medical and psychological abbreviation for 'diagnosis'.
[For example, a doctor writing, 'Dx AN woc. BN' would be saying, 'Diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, with occasional bulimic episodes'. ]
Hope that was clear.
There are other 'x' abbrviations, but I'm not sure they're appropriate in here, as they're not really mentioned often. I'll state them anyway, you you fine people can decide:

MC - I have to be honest I haven't seen any of those abbreviations used on RYL except the abbreviation for the DSM.
The ICD-9 is used in the US, but the codes apply to all medical conditions and not just mental heath ones.
