This issue had come up during the holiday season because traffic had picked up so much. I think this is to be expected because the season can trigger or amplify depression and anxiety. Traffic has fallen off since then. My suggestion at the time was to divide the main board into two:

1. Affective disorders (mood disorders): major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, cyclothymic disorder, dysthymia, schizoaffective disorder, seasonal affective disorder, etc.

2. Anxiety disorders: social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, obsessive compulsive disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, etc.

I think to divide the board up into more pieces will lose the advantage of being able to integrate these disorders into the spectrums that they are. To make even this division separates out affective disorders for which anxiety is a primary symptom rather than being a separate illness.
