I hope some others do.   Epidemic of Mental Illness in Doctors ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The emergence of Medically Unexplained Illnesses has revealed an epidemic of behavioral problems and personality disorders in doctors. Patients expressing unfamiliar complaints to their physicians often induce the "It's All In Your Head "  (AIYH) or the "That's Impossible " (TI) response from doctors suffering from these behavioral problems and personality disorders. Physicians who manifest the metaphysical belief system of "If we don't know about it, then it doesn't exist" are suffering from a mental defect or psychological condition known as "Doctors with Unexplained Medical Beliefs" or D.U.M.B. D.U.M.B. doctors are comprised of two categories that are characterized by those who are feigning to be D.U.M.B. for monetary gain:  "Medicalingering" and those who are not in possesion of sufficient information to render intelligent diagnoses:  "Factlessitious Disorder". Physicians who are predisposed to this condition place an inordinate emphasis on theories of psychological causality (such as, "You must be suffering from depression ") for virtually any unfamiliar complaints that are presented to them.  This obsession with psychological etiology, or "Psychologizing," is a distinctive characteristic of the mental illness and should be considered a warning sign that the individual is not rational and may in fact be D.U.M.B. D.U.M.B. disorder may be concomitant but should not be confused with Signs of Thoroughly Umistakable Physician Intelligence Deficiency or "S.T.U.P.I.D." since a S.T.U.P.I.D. physician is uniformly incompetent.  While a D.U.M.B. doctor is only mentally paralyzed into "psychologizing" by unfamiliar symptoms and complaints. An immediate investigation is warranted to assess the prevalence of D.U.M.B. and S.T.U.P.I.D. doctors and to determine the impact that physicians suffering from these mental defects have on the health care system and their patients.
