You think that article's bad. Check out this case study from the 40s. It's Freudian to the max- painful to read. I'm sure that the patient became psychotic due to repeated crisis', not because he wasn't hugged enough as a child...lol

My late Auntie was treated as a psyche case in the 1960s when she became ill. She then gave up on Drs and never discussed her health issues again with Drs or family. The family believed the Drs .... Poor Auntie - no one believed in her.

Now dx ( by daughters' description of symptoms and photos ) as "definately MG - blind Freddie could spot that"

It is really sad to see not a lot has changed in 50 years.
