Chodoff's Syndrome
Published Online:4 Mar 2005https://doi.org/10.1176/pn.40.5.00400035a
I heartily endorse Dr. Paul Chodoff's proposal in his letter in the January 21 issue that a new diagnosis called “the human condition” be added to DSM-V. To facilitate insurance reimbursement, however, I propose the eponymous “Chodoff's syndrome.” Knowing your psychiatric ABCs, after Asperger's and Briquet's, who wouldn't be happy to be diagnosed a Chodoff's?
