The American Psychiatric Association has established a new diagnostic category which will classify many medically ill patients with a somatic symptom disorder or a mentally manufactured illness, when many truly suffer from any number of well-diagnosed and immensely debilitating immune system dysfunctions. Lyme Disease. Fibromyalgia. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. M.E. Epstein Barr Virus. Multiple Chemical Sensitivities. These are a few of the misunderstood diseases that could fall into this wastebasket diagnostic category. Awareness. Education. Scholarship. Research. Support.
