Bridging the Chasm
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- First Cousins and Co-Morbidity
- Many neuro-biological disorders have been delineated, each being recognized as a specific condition. Often, the conditions are characterized as either “behavioral” or “emotional” disorders, a situation that is quite confusing and disintegrating. Accordingly, the most common of the “behavior disorders” are: Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and its closely related neighbor, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED). Among those conditions considered an “emotional disorder” are: Bi-Polar Disorder (formerly known as Manic-Depressive Disorder) and the various Depressive and Anxiety states. To further complicate the picture, there is Tourette Syndrome (TS), which traditionally stood alone as a distinct and separate diagnostic condition. Diagnosing TS and another neuro-biological disorder in the same person did not occur. Actually, with most of these conditions, each disorder stood apart from the others. The reality is such, however, that there is significant overlap among these "first cousins,” meaning that there is a close, familial relationship among them.
