Why the five-fold increase in autism diagnoses in the U.S. over the last 25 years may be influenced by subjective diagnostic criteria and open-ended reimbursement by Medicaid.

Note that this is published by a libertarian think-tank, but contains data that show a spending explosion greater than the increase in diagnoses.

For those interested in the UK debate about the so-called “over-diagnosis” of ADHD this (by veteran health-related government “scourge”) Roy Lilley ⤵️ is a *must read*:

“Streeting's mental health review; is it a genuine attempt to look into the ‘sea of troubles’ so many people seem to be in, or is it just a crude attempt to find a way to cut the benefits bill?”

Surely it’s not #overdiagnosis it’s #correctdiagnosis thanks to advances in scientific knowledge 🤷🏻.

I've just finished "The Age of Diagnosis" by Suzanne O'Sullivan.

The author, an Irish neurologist, claims that we are becoming the victims of overdiagnosis and overmedicalization.

Overdiagnosis - a term with which I was not not hitherto familiar - "refers to a diagnosis that is correct but which does not benefit the patient and may arguably do harm. Overdiagnosis occurs when a medical problem is detected at a stage when medical treatment is not really required".

Overmedicalisation "occurs when ordinary human differences, behaviour and life stages are given medical labels..."

I found this book thought provoking, in particular with regard to the author's challenge to commonly held assumptions about the benefits of screening and pre-emptive testing. I also thought her warnings about the dangers of thinking of diagnosis as a technical procedure rather than a physician's attempt to explain symptoms should be heeded.

Links to a couple of reviews can be found here: https://floss.social/@rdnielsen/114478603556078827

Some will disagree in the strongest of terms with her arguments about diagnosis creep with regard to autism, ADHD, and Lyme disease. This critical review accuses O'Sullivan of a poorly informed paternalism: https://mastodon.ie/@Tupp_ed/114609317582047709

Although I am not going to discuss those specific issues, I do worry that....
