( ・-・) Autism, ADD, ADHD, and bipolar disorder are all vastly overdiagnosed, possibly by 2-3 orders of magnitude. They have ceased to be useful diagnostic labels and become the stuff of pop psychology.

( ・-・) On the other hand, schizotypal personality disorder is underdiagnosed, probably because it can be considered to be a set of trendy affectations that is quite fashionable in some portions of the Western world--except that it still cripples the person and makes him quite unable to cope with reality, especially if circumstances should conspire to move him out of his comfortable little bubble of like-minded moneyed postmodern urbanites.

( ・-・) I view all of this as evidence to support the sneaking suspicion I have had for most of my life that Western Civilization has reached its final stage of decadence and is beginning to crumble. Oh look, here come the Huns now.
