    Ah, yes, the surprising discovery that many health problems are not fully isolated and that, shockingly, there is no hard limit set in nature that means people can only have one significant health problem at a time. How weird is that?

    Meanwhile, at the clinic: "consults will be limited to only one symptom".

    Also meanwhile: this multi-systemic disease with multiple symptoms is actually only one symptom and nothing else, because, see, we're "holistic", and all of that

    The slow process of "discovering" things that millions of people have been saying for decades is a sight to behold.

    An aside from the actual paper abstract:
    I've always loved the name psychNET. It feels like there should be a 1-800 phone number attached.

    Perhaps they can prognosticate if I will have further morbidities in the future so I can book an appointment now and avoid the wait.

    Though they could stand to update their 'holistic' visions of health to biological manifestations are/can be rather more than just a nod and a wink and then off we go to the psych for therapy. Therapy is IMO not the primary tool that will most often be the best choice to support an ill persons well-being.

    I'd like to know how they always view pyschosocial through only this narrow aperture.

    This stuff starts to feel like a strange kind of reaction --having over reached and over stated the value of the BPS model they feel devalued (they don't yet rule the medical world) so they respond by . . . over hyping their worth.
