However, some of the ICD10–PHC disorders were equivalent to existing categories in the parent classification, and did not take into account developments in diagnostic thinking. An interesting example of this concerns ‘medically unexplained symptoms’, which appear to have fallen out of favour with our GP colleagues, who have taken the view that even some medically explained symptoms can be abnormally prolonged and accentuated. Psychiatrists have taken a similar view: the new concept of ‘complex somatic symptom disorder’ being field tested for DSM–V also draws attention not to whether somatic symptoms can be explained, but to the cognitive components that may accompany them, whether they are part of a known physical disease or not.…
What the rest of medical science cannot explain, psychiatric pseudoscience will and does explain as madness, but wrapped up in euphemistic terms for better public consumption and deception.
It really comes to this, and it is evidently pseudoscientific bullshit and nonsense:
You cannot scientifically both not know how to explain an illness, outside psychiatry, and know how to explain the same illness, inside psychiatry. Either the rest of medical science is real science and psychiatry is not, or psychiatry is real science, and the rest of medicine be better terminated as dangerously mis- and under-diagnosing madness.

- No SPAM whatsoever, no supplements, no pharmaceuticals, no herbs or any other advertisements
- Absolutely no quack-doctors pushing their quack-BS websites (and if you are a quack, I will call you out)
- Be critical if you want to, but try to be coherent
Comments are moderated, because I am tired of Gerwyn-V99-The-Idiot and his moronic sockpuppets, and tired of the story of the two dogs, but I will try to publish everything else.
If you are not Gerwyn (and want to tell me something other than the story of the two dogs), then relax and write something! :-)
