Hey @godflesh! Thank you so much for one more of your incredible comments. I very much appreciate the interest you take in my writing; you do know I am also a fan of your work! I am sorry to hear that you have come across instances of misdiagnosis. Sadly, these are not rare cases. Some individuals, sometimes, receive several different diagnosis, which makes things all the more confusing for them. But, without meaning to undermine the examples in your life, you are a very smart, well-informed, educated person. I believe this is a factor that contributes a lot in cases like this. Your knowledge might be the very reason you have realized the misdiagnosis you have encountered.

As for Foucalt's book. You are not shy are you? I am a big, big fan of his work. Madness and Civilization is a master piece. However, as I have recently heard 'it is a bit hard to chew'!! Still, I value a lot all the information you bring to me.

All the best :)
