Just someone floating their theories. Couldn't live without them.
Whatever the condition, when a name is applied it implies some attention is being paid. As mentioned, researchers need words when trying to uncover more information, causes, effects, remedies. Maybe re-naming or blending with other disorders as dicoveries are made, this is the normal progression. No way around it unless we figure out how to communicate without words.
Unfortunately the aspects we as outsiders most often see are healthcare entities making a buck, be it the big drug companies pushing magic cures or doctors/insurance making their cut. Before that we hear it from media and attorneys using it as a catch-all when somebody goes postal. We see these things and become jaded to all references, including news of progress, even cures, because the circus is what usually touches our lives.
Then should you or a family member suffer from symptoms that may or may not be related, you may find yourself digging deeper, trying to understand. Perhaps defending or even trying potential treatments out of a desire to help.
As usual, whatever piece of the game most deeply touches our lives tends to dictate our opinion.

If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
