Abstract

attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder gender incongruence and gender dysphoria mental distress doctor–patient relationship Autism spectrum disorder editorial
This editorial highlights increasing prevalence and treatment rates of apparently disparate disorders. We ask whether cross-disorder factors including greater mental health literacy, social media and a shift to psychiatric explanations for distress contribute to these trends. We highlight a consequence: the changing doctor-patient relationship and its impacts.
