Thank you.
Good thing there are biomarkers for many of
these. Bad thing that psychiatry does not
know what a biomarker is, except when they
want to say they don't exist, LOL.

We'll have to put this mental-illness phenomenon in
the Self-DSM, along with the phenomenology of
"Clinical Psychiatry"... when such could not possibly
exist if psychiatry is required to perform scientifically
valid rule-outs before making a DSM diagnosis.
I must say these wack-job psychiatrists are
among America's *numerous* intellectual
disgraces... except for the part where stupid
people are always humorous to observe.
And observe them the world does.
LOL

(RWJMS) Medically Unexplained Physical Symptoms (MUPS) Research
Center, which has been supported with over $4M in funding by the US
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), is a member of the DSM-V
Task Force. Dr Escobar serves as a Task Force liaison to the Somatic
Symptom Disorders Work Group and is said to work closely with this
group.

In a 2008 Special Report by Marin and Escobar: “Unexplained
Physical Symptoms What’s a Psychiatrist to Do?” Psychiatric Times.
Vol. 25 No. 9, August 1, 2008, the authors write:
“…Perhaps as a corollary of turf issues, general medicine and
medical specialties started carving these syndromes with their own
tools. The resulting list of ‘medicalized’, specialty-driven labels
that continues to expand includes fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue
syndome, multiple chemical sensitivity, and many others.
“…These labels fall under the general category of functional
somatic syndromes and seem more acceptable to patients because they
may be perceived as less stigmatizing than psychiatric ones. However,
using DSM criteria, virtually all these functional syndromes would
fall into the somatoform disorders category given their phenomenology,
unknown physical causes, absence of reliable markers, and the frequent
coexistence of somatic and psychiatric symptoms.”
In Table 1, under the heading “Functional Somatic Syndromes (FSS)”
Escobar and Marin list:
“Irritable bowel syndrome, Chronic fatigue syndrome,
Fibromyalgia, Multiple chemical sensitivity, Nonspecific chest pain,
Premenstrual disorder, Non-ulcer dyspepsia, Repetitive strain injury,
Tension headache, Temporomandibular joint disorder, Atypical facial
pain, Hyperventilation syndrome, Globus syndrome, Sick building
syndrome, Chronic pelvic pain, Chronic whiplash syndrome, Chronic Lyme
disease, Silicone breast implant effects, Candidiasis hypersensivity,
Food allergy, Gulf War syndrome, Mitral valve prolapse, Hypoglycemia,
Chronic low back pain, Dizziness, Interstitial cystitis, Tinnitus,
Pseudoseizures, Insomnia, Systemic yeast infection, Total allergy
syndrome”
