- ggm 4y agoThere should be a version of "rule 34" about DSM-IV. If somebody says "I am.. " then it's probably in the DSM. This is basically "capgras" syndrome, often related to brain injury.

- ggm 4y agoYes, a better fit. There's probably a delusion for "think they understand how to apply DSM to casual comments"
- rzzzt 4y agoNeither of these syndromes are recognized by DSM-5 due to their rarity: - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34033319/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34033319/ - https://neuro.psychiatryonline.org/doi/full/10.1176/appi.neuropsych.17010018 https://neuro.psychiatryonline.org/doi/full/10.1176/appi.neu...
- ggm 4y agoI see you suffer from "something is wrong on the internet" syndrome or xkcd's disease. The IV to V revision.. is that a sign of the organising principle at work, or a revolution /reaction in diagnosis? Was the meeting where they voted on it like Brontosaurus or Pluto?
- rzzzt 4y agoI upgraded the manual's version because that's what was referenced in the linked articles. But V is almost always better than IV, think "The Empire Strikes Back" vs. "A New Hope"!
