What's that even supposed to mean? There is a statutory authority role here, the patient is completely at the mercy of the physicians and generally trusts them not to BS. Do these people truly expect that sick mostly young women in a highly conservative society to openly object to what a likely male physician with statutory authority tells them? Come on, at least pretend to be serious here.

Who decides that? Based on how "well" it is accepted? That's basically sales. Scientology is great at getting people to accept something they delivered appropriately.

 

I noticed the incredibly low recovery rate from functional seizures here (less than half). I'm assuming that those who were diagnosed were given the access to psychotherapy to sort out their "emotional problems". I guess some people just aren't willing put the effort in.
