It all depends how slowly the frogs are boiling, especially in non contentious diseases like AIDS or MS. My feeling is the PR job on convincing the whole world that they are a bit mentally ill is miles ahead of the almost invisible resistance that the definition of mental illness is now almost...

Wesselys objection will be to the notion that "merely psychological" will be stigmatising mental illness instead of pushing the idea that its just as debilitating and serious as physical illness. Yet at the same time he claims there should be no distinction made whilst also trying to...

We invented a group of spurious syndromes to disappear certain illnesses then dumped them all together under one label then found that they overlapped and we were very surprised because even though the catch all category was designed to bury all other categories together... it did. We did this...

That's what is so bizarre. Either the codes via the DSM, ICD, APA etc are not fit for purpose for anyone or how is it he can relate such organisations to a Byzatine process and then say they are best used by mental health professionals? ie/ HIM "None of those codes makes sense and therefore...

@Dx Revision Watch That's why it sound so convulted when he says this Is he claiming the DSM and ICD are valid in their mental health constructs or not whomever they are designed for? Is it just the APA and the WHO which is Byzantine?

"What reasons did you have to change the policy?" "Ah well we had particular reasons". o_O

Presumably also he realsies that ME by definition needs a specialist to diagnose it and not a GP. Or even a series of specialists as it is claimed to be to a diagnose of exclusion and is he claiming that "GPs rightly so ignore the DSM the and the APA". If so should other physicians also...

Here speaketh the emperor of byzantium. Its like he is Henry the 8th... "Do not listen to those other pronunceres of faith I have the word of god myself all truth must be filtered through myself and my pronouncements"

Maybe you could get some ideas from this video on van living.

Well its quite obvious that if you make mental health mean anything you want you can be selective in a cohort to meet a 50% recovery rate target. All you need is people like Prince Harry banging on about mental health 3 times a day in the news and you can convince almost everyone that...

Yes none of this actually makes sense. Perhaps these viruses dont thrive in close contact and need people to live further away from each other to replicate. How bizarre. :unsure: Anyway I'm glad we have taken to having the authorities assaulting unmasked people coming of trains here for a virus...

It's not all bad news, the BPS crowd published the null result PACE study.

That's just a bizarre statement, what disqualifies a whistleblower from being an expert anyway? Sounds like this women needs a safe space of her own to think it all out!

In the olden days ye people fought vat parkinsons and MS and epilepsy was like demonic possession ye cos they were like really dumb and so its in the historic record that those symptoms where demonic possession cos like they didn't know how to test for fings and all the doctors where on cocaine...

How about a "false positive?"

Wow!

I'm pretty sure this type of system already exists in the US for payment of benefits?

You are definitely not using the self checkout in that case. I know of one "false positive" for coronavirus however. Its a genuine story via my sister. A college of hers had a flu like illness last week and was genuinely worried that she had had a Chinese takeaway the night before. That's...

I know I am being a pain but now I am worried that you may have it in a few days as you came into contact with some Chinese people last night as you said. So presumably you will take the test in a few days? :sneaky: Surely you don't want to leave it until its too late and you have spread...

@Jonathan Edwards So have you taken the test already to see if you are a carrier and non symptomatic? It will be too late if you get the symptoms because then presumably you will have spread it. Why hasn't the government here rolled out compulsory testing for all? Why dont we have road...
