I'd tell you the specific license if I remembered. I guess that could be true in some states. Do you have any sort of degree in psychology or psychiatry? Nope. Then, what makes you think you have the knowledge to the claim people who do and have researched these matters, as ridiculous? Mostly experience with the psychiatric system. Medical experts have to rely on patients' ability to explain what is going on with them to give an accurate diagnosis. This can be particularly hard in psych where so many diagnoses are similar (the chief reason ICD-9 was updated, too many overlapping psych issues). Generally what someone does for fun is touched on fairly early on so a Gaming Disorder can be the first and only diagnosis given. Much like as mentioned before the widespread misdiagnosis of ADHD. This does depend on the provider of course, and whether they decide to ask what other problems the person has. I've had some do minimal work and give a misdiagnosis and others take their time. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a common intake diagnosis. In the end I'd rather not have fad diagnoses and treatments spread far when more reasonable solutions are just a couple more steps away for most people. I also have parents who have worked in psych if that counts for anything. They had wanted me to go to med school for a significant portion of my life and still say I'd be a good nurse at the least, but I was determined to find my own way. --- Hive Mind of Dark Aether, the unofficial Metroid Social Private board. https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/851-dark-aether <cite>P4wn4g3 posted [p:903689230] in WHO Recogn...
