Jana,

do you know what circular logic is?

well, if not this article that you have cited, is an excellent example-

MG patients are diagnosed as suffering from psychiatric problems (based on what?) and therefore MG patients suffer from psychiatric problems.

the only imprortant sentence I would take from this article and distribute to neurologists is - antidepressants should be prescribed with caution to MG patients.

and of course that MG patients supress their anger. they have to learn to do so, as if they express it and tell their physicians what they really think and feel, they may end up being put in a psychiatric ward.

BTW, I haven't noticed that you have any cognitive impairment, so not sure what you are talking about.
