With all due respect, That is a horrible article because it says there are many psychiatric diagnoses among people with MALS. It should have said “psychiatric MISdiagnoses” because most of us with MALS have had some physicians use a psychiatric diagnosis as a wild card when they don’t know to check for MALS. This article will only serve as another barrier to getting the right tests and treatment. The majority of us have been misdiagnosed; the article didn’t even check to see if those psychiatric comorbiditues were errors.
