ianr Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 > Tourette's - or 'speaking in tongues'That's glossolalia, which I don't think has made it to disease status. There's not even a DSM-IV entry for it, whereas Tourette's is there and in ICD-10.

LondonMix Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I was reading a book the other day and it mentioned that the pathologising of common conditions really started in the 20th century. People always had difficulties with certain things but these weren't elevated to the status of disease until recently.What does calling something a disease change about it?

Husker Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Awareness of Tourettes has been around a while. I remember watching QED's "Johnnie's not mad" as a kid. The next day at school, everyone had it!Also, not so much a disease but binge drinking - this was just called "a big night out"!

the-e-dealer Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I had a Friend who at 30 got ME or Yuppie Flu. He was really tired and unhealthy. Tried loads of different treatments - both mainstream and weird. Then after 2 years they realised it was Leukemia he died within weeks. He was the editor of Oink Comic.

The Minkey Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Really sorry to hear about your friend, e-dealer. Yes, it's not improbable that a good proportion of ME/CFS cases have been misdiagnosed as there's no obligation to run anything other than basic bloodwork to check for anaemia, thyroid/liver issues etc so it ends up being one of those wastepaper bin diagnoses. The ME diagnosis has been around longer than the 70's and is classified by the WHO as a neurological condition with its own ICD code I believe. Esther Rantzen was busy spouting off about it for a while because her daughter was diagnosed with CFS but she turned out to have Coeliac Disease. Someone I know of was left to rot for many years until he was eventually diagnosed with Behcets Disease.

maxxi Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 The flip side is a return to popularity of some old favourites like gout (no longer just 'the disease of kings') and attacks of the vapours (DM online). Next in line is a dismissal of all psychological diagnoses in favour of a return to the purer Hippocratic expression of the four Humours - Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholic & Phlegmatic - to be controlled with blood letting and trepanning which will be available at local hair salons."A number 2 and a hole over me left frontal lobe mate please, cheers."
