The 339 Brain Health Diagnoses

The ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle, claimed that collecting and comparing whole classes of items built understanding of them. The diagnoses listed below appeared in Wikipedia in 2021 and 2024. “Brain health” is the current term for “mental illness” which has become negative and outdated. Most of the diagnoses were also listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manuals of the American Psychiatric Association. DSM-5 is considered the most authoritative resource in the mental health field.

Clicking on a diagnosis below opens several items about that diagnosis: a definition, descriptive background from Wikipedia, a YouTube video of someone experiencing the diagnosis if available or of a specialist describing it, for further reading a book from a library or available on Amazon written for the public, and, again, if available, a support group for this diagnoses. The books may be available from local libraries or through the libraries’ “Inter-Library Loan.” If prejudices against learning about mental illness is uncomfortable, the books are available through Amazon with most priced under $20.00. The other website items are free.

Warning: Wikipedia items are updated regularly, so record any items you want to keep for reference.
