This is great news for all of us! Thank you for giving another year of your life, @dave30th - and for providing a clear voice to those that can’t...
That’s my interpretation of the abstract. Wyller is going to hate this.
Then it is no longer ‘psychosomatic’. Yes, but this challenge doesn’t make the assertion that everything is physical wrong.
Work stress is a construct made up of other constructs and so on, that ultimately try to describe how collections of subatomic particles that we...
I’m sorry for asking again, but what do you mean by ‘psychosomatic symptoms’? You contrast psychosomatic diagnoses to physical diagnoses, but in...
What do you mean by «PS is also a thing»?
[IMG] I’m not an expert in data visualisation, but I struggle to understand how someone could believe that four line graphs were the best options...
Just to be clear - I was trying to ask if that’s what the paper says that inflammation is.
A bit off topic - but are all neurons created equal? i.e. will a doorstopper drug act as a doorstopper for all neurons or just some?
Bingo. This is the core of BPS - that beliefs about yourself can manifest symptoms.
I don’t follow the field closely, but I’ve only read qualitative studies on pre-symptomatic testing. There’s a wide range of experiences,...
Does inflammation just mean the presence of cells that sometimes are involved in inflammation? Does that tell us much about what’s actually going on?
More than 7000 patients in Norway have been requesting for years to dismantle the National Advisory Unit on ME/CFS because of their BPS approach....
I just found the site that had a transcription, so the credit goes to the developers! On one hand, I believe it’s quite common to believe that...
The logical response would have been to feel guilty about misdiagnosing someone, not to feel guilty about having used a medical diagnosis per se....
Maybe we could ‘obliviate’ their memories of psychosomatics and replace them with real science!
Not the study you’re asking for, but a recent Norwegian one found both under- and over diagnosis with regards to ICD G93.3 and the CCC....
It’s like having an ambulance drive right past a car crash because someone hasn’t called 911 about it.
I think we have to take it a step further and challenge the concept of somatic symptom disorders itself.
