Okay, I'll play.

The disorder disorder- To be out of order with or question or defy your so ordered place in the universe disorder.

Factatious Disorder- To confront the dominating collective's constructs with truths independently derived from Facts not readily accepted by the general beliefs of those identified with said collective.

Tomatoform disorder- Those heirlooms are pretty, but difficult to cut no matter how you slice it.

Conversion disorder- A State of being psychically disconnected from the brain. Typically exhibited by psycho-diagnosticians

Adjustment Disorder- In severe cases this can be caused by the observing ego having (like Frod) grown “tired of being tormented to hell” (symptom overlap with 300.6)

Hyper religiosity- a belief that someone is making a list and checkin’ it twice while on stimulants or while in need of stimulants due to hyperactive disorder

Moodring disorders- When you bought one on a nostalgic impulse only to find it has turned your finger black and your brown eyes blue.

DisAsociative disorder- exhibited by persons with imaginary friends that typically do not play well with anyone that calls them names.

Depersonalization disorder- to be redefined as ennui or as a symptom of any tricyclic.

Dissociative Amnesia- Hey, what happens in ‘Vegas stays in ‘Vegas…right?

Borderline Personality Disorder- This patient challenges your patience and intellect…(d)efer immediately/pass that chart

Labeling disorder- A chronic ailment of pompous gas bags getting together with one another to define others as “the other” in one form or another, in reductive often pejorative clinical terms, in an effort to reassure themselves that they are beneficent and superior. This classification includes anyone narrow minded enough to assume that human behaviour could be subsumed within categories based on assessments designed and administered by people who interpret other people’s responses to inkblots.  

Intermittent Explosive Disorder- Well then quit fucking with me!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenhan_experiment

The non-existent impostor experiment

For this experiment, Rosenhan used a well-known research and teaching hospital, whose staff had heard of the results of the initial study but claimed that similar errors could not be made at their institution. Rosenhan arranged with them that during a three month period, one or more pseudopatients would attempt to gain admission and the staff would rate every incoming patient as to the likelihood they were an impostor. Out of 193 patients, 41 were considered to be impostors and a further 42 were considered suspect. In reality, Rosenhan had sent no pseudopatients and all patients suspected as impostors by the hospital staff were genuine patients. This led to a conclusion that "any diagnostic process that lends itself too readily to massive errors of this sort cannot be a very reliable one". Studies by others found similarly problematic diagnostic results.

SEKTO:
Until recently, I had never heard of the ICD (International Classification of Diseases).  It was my assumption that the DSM was the international standard reference book for diagnosticians.  Then I started reading about the World Health Organization’s ICD and learned that this is not the case.  The DSM is the primary diagnostic system in the United States and just a few other countries.  In most other countries around the world (particularly European countries), the DSM is used merely as an adjunct to the ICD diagnostic system, and sometimes the DSM is not employed at all.  The two references have many and significant differences, such as their respective coding systems and disagreement in terms of which certain disorders belong on what axes.  For instance: in ICD, "personality disorders" are placed on Axis 1; in DSM, they are Axis 2 diagnoses.  However, there has been a lot of work done cooperatively by the American Psychological Association (APA) and the WHO to bring these two texts into concordance, and my questions are these:  the ICD was first published before the DSM was.  So, why did the American Psychological Association the create DSM in the first place?  Why not, instead of trying to bring the DSM into concordance with the ICD and vice-versa, produce just one reference book that would set the international standard for diagnosis, epidemiology, and classification?   It seems like in the longer run, such a move would end much confusion, and would be a generally simpler, yet more elegant and “streamlined” system for everyone concerned.
