Psychiatric Presentations of Medical Illness

Comment: This is not directly about MCS, but since MCS and other chronic illnesses are often misdiagnosed as being psychiatric in origin, this may be useful information to ascertain whether a doctor is doing their investigative job to find the cause of an illness. It may also be valuable to those with certain symptoms as it lists potential causes to check for. It discusses the real medical illnesses which may be mistaken for a mental illness. It also discusses the complexities involved with obtaining medical care for this with co-occurring medical and mental illnesses. The bottom line is that medical illnesses are routinely misdiagnosed as being psychiatric.
