Why Are Almost All These Terms On The Previous Page Capitalized? Is That What People In Medical Professions Do--Capitalize Everything? --KQ

This page should probably be moved to List of mental illnesses. -- Diberri | Talk 22:39, May 20, 2004 (UTC)
I am sure some of these illnesses in the list are not in fact a type of mental illness. What do you think of this claim of mine? If you agree, which ones should be deleated from the list?

Should homosexuality really be labled as a mental illness. Personally, I believe this is true. Although, this is Wikipedia and we need a debate about this.

I was wondering, isn't phobia a mental illness. There is a long list of manias and then mania by itself. Why isn't it the same for different phobias. User:Ishvara7 6/27/07 17:13 PM
You guys are stupid! homosexual?? yeah ok! you would have to be STUPID to believe that homosexual as a mental illness! PEOPLE NEED TO USE THESE SITES YOU KNOW! so why be stupid and put your little brains to help some people! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.95.6.132 ( talk) 19:13, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Question: starting with its very title, DSM-IV names almost everything in it as a "disorder," and there are few, if any references to "mental illness." ICD-9 also refers to "mental disorders," broken down into psychotic and non-psychotic types. Why are we using the terminology of "illness" rather than "disorder," when that is what the diagnostic manuals themselves use? Poindexter Propellerhead 23:57, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Megalomania, or delusions of grandeur, should be listed in my opinion, but I don't know if it would be considered a mental illness. 68.188.56.183 ( talk) 17:09, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
The illnesses as classified by the DSM should be removed or moved to separate list as this does not present a globalised view of the topic. The ICD, part of the WHO, is an international list and should be used solely for this page. The title should then also be changed. McLerristarr (Mclay1) ( talk) 23:37, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
This title is a bit, er, odd. Is there any reason we don't have it at List of mental disorders as defined by the DSM and ICD? Or List of DSM and ICD mental disorders? -- JaGa talk 08:13, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. Vegaswikian ( talk) 18:47, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

I was editing the list today and I noticed that some of the listed disorders are not actually full disorders, but subtypes (example: ADD, catatonic schizophrenia). There are also some NOS diagnoses (EDNOS). Is this list intended to include all the subtype/NOS diagnoses in the DSM? I'm willing to go through and add things, I just wanted some consensus first.
Also, there's some things on the list such as BED, which is I don't believe has an ICD or DSM diagnosis apart from EDNOS. There's also perfectionism, which I haven't been able to find any sources for stating that it's a disorder (only that it's a trait that can lead to disorders). And bibliomania? OCD/anxiety symptom or disorder? Dirajero ( talk) 22:47, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Asperger's syndrome is no longer a diagnosis. 2A00:23C5:69F2:6B00:F94A:ADA1:5050:E697 ( talk) 21:56, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
I made sweeping changes to the article including sorting the disorders into categories someone should add one or two sentences to each explaining what each category means. I don't feel qualified to do that myself as I have no formal education in phycology and I'd rather someone with more knowledge do it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LJFIN2 ( talk • contribs) 14:01, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
Either I am blind, or misophonia and probably a bunch of other disorders aren't added here. Unfortunately, am I suffering badly from misophonia and my family just complains because I can't stand normal sounds. I have told them I might have misophonia, they even suggested it themselves, but I have zero support. I honestly think they don't know what misophonia really is.
Anyway, please add misophonia and other disorders that you might have missed! (sorry if it's just me that's blind) 78.79.235.7 ( talk) 17:30, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

This is not considered a mental disorder under the DSM and its arguably unkind to insinuate so. Therefore I think it should be removed from ‘Other’. 97shadow413 ( talk) 19:59, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
Howdy! The end of the lead section currently reads, "There are over 200 types of Mental Health disorders. It is affecting how many people work, act and function. Some of the more common disorders are anxiety, depression, eating disorders, ADHD. Within those disorders there are more in specific disorders. Like separation anxiety."
This paragraph isn't very clear, and includes an orphaned clause (among other minor grammatical mistakes). I'm going to fix it up a bit, just to improve readability and bring it back in line with the MOS. I think the rest of the article probably needs a good go-over for stylistic tweaks, too, honestly. I'll see about putting up a listing with the guild of copyeditors. Atomic putty? Rien! 18:33, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
