I am a psychologist and the picture of half a woman brought up more questions than answers. The diagnosis is also disturbing. When I learned of.”la belle indifference “ in graduate school, it was pretty much dismissed as a type of hysteria. I intuitively felt that it was a response to some traumatic event that had been successfully repressed. When I brought this up with my professor, he thought it was “interesting“ and then dismissed it. The way women are constantly being dismissed. This is a brilliant article by Dr. Rochat!

I can see what you are saying about that possible diagnosis of Conversion Disorder/Functional Neurologic Symptom Disorder - but I have no medical background. It just makes sense to me. As you pointed out, the journalists in this country are not doing their job. How to get them to do that? Follow the money. Damn.
