You can be crazy and still be sick...

I had never heard of this, but apparently it's well-established that when someone has a history of treatment for mental illness, he is likely to be discounted and demeaned when he seeks help for physical medical conditions. It's called "diagnostic overshadowing," where docs attribute all symptoms to the psychiatric issue. People actually die unnecessarily because of it. Anybody have any experience with this, as a patient or a medical professional?http://ift.tt/2csXGeY
