Does every symptom become a syndrome or are we over-diagnosing ?

Can’t focus ? maybe its ADHD
Tired from work ? maybe chronic fatigue syndrome
Eat more when stressed ? maybe its binge eating disorder

Not every ache/problem is related to pathology. While we are more aware about medical disorders but the line between being aware and unnecessary treatment is fading .
Lets discuss if we should treat every symptom or learn when to let the body and mind heal
Have you ever felt like a normal feeling was labelled as a medical issue ?

So true! I still remember studying general medicine for the first time and every time some new disorder would come, and if it’d match with what my body was going through, we’d correlate it and come upto that conclusion. Crazyyyy. Like for example, I’ve heard so many people around me say that they’re depressed every now and then over a fluke.
