[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 659857, member: 55568"] My old mum used to have any disease that was written about in magazines or that was on daytime TV. She was so good at diagnosing them, she told me she didn't need to go to the doctor. I was told that 1st and 2nd year medical students also tend to think they have a variety of strange and weird illnesses that they came across during their studies. In fact, Radio 4 recently broadcast a play about one such person. Some people use disorders as excuses for their behaviour, so for example, can't be bothered to get out of bed and get out of the house becomes I have chronic fatigue syndrome and agoraphobia. [URL='http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9456062']Somatization and fashionable diagnoses: illness as a way of life.[/URL] A lot of these people also appear to use alcohol as a very effective drug!
