Age of Diagnosis
"How our Obsession with Medical Labels is Making us Sicker"
Dr. O'Sullivan's book addresses the overdiagnosis of Huntington's disease, Lyme disease, long Covid, Autism, Cancer, ADHD, Depression, and many other lessor known illnesses. She points out that we live in an age of increased medical labeling of "abnormal" symptoms as the result of increased testing, patient demand, and willing doctors.
She made me think about how I feel about...psychosomatic illnesses, Cancer treatments, long-term Covid, Genetic testing, and Genetic screening. Are doctors over-testing, over-diagnosing, over-medicating, and over-treating Americans? I am a strong supporter of vaccines, I support genetic screening for the unborn, I believe in my Cancer doctors, and I don't trust RFK Jr. Nonetheless, she gives me school for thought.
