Psychiatric diagnoses are, in some cases, mere mental constructs. Maybe they are names for conditions that really exist, but maybe not.
In 1978, a common diagnosis given to people admitted to the hospital was "neurasthenia." Nowadays, no one who goes into an emergency room is diagnosed with neurasthenia. Maybe bipolar disorder is a real thing that people have. And maybe not. It's a category that doctors put people in. Do all the people diagnosed with BP have the same disorder? - just with varied features. I don't know. Maybe we are lumping together apples wnd bananas. |

What's neurasthenia? (Suppose I could just google it.)

It was supposed to be "weakness of the nerves."

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
