Talk:Dysphoria

Gender Dysphoria
It seems like Gender Dysphoria is the larger focus of this article, nearly exclusive to the negative effects of disease or psychedelic use.

Citation #4 Metcalf & Coop
Hey guys, what's up with this? Why no link? Why the shoddy citation? Why is it abbreviated?

Gender?
Is it really true that gender dysphoria is the most common? Seems like this should be checked... BryanD 16:45, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Try a search on google for "Dysphoria" and you only get five hits higher than this article page. This article is going to be a pain in the posterior to cite for. --The1exile - Talk - Contribs - 22:40, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Anyone else heard of post-doctoral thesis submission dysphoria? Those poor acedemics, :-( what will they do now?? Martinq22 16:39, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Things aren't the way they are supposed to be
A person suffering from dysphoria will feel that "Things aren't the way they are supposed to be." "Things aren't the way they are supposed to be." seems to be a core concept of most religions. Hackwrench 04:21, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Hypoglycemia
I don't believe the term 'hypoglycemia' is being used by the standard, recognized medical definition here as a cause for dysphoria. At best it's a controversial interpretation of 'hypoglycemia' and at worst... I've only seen it stringently applied to things like depression, addiction, dysphoria by individuals that stand to profit by selling miracle-type products/treatments by claiming 'hypoglycemia' is a cause for all such things and is correctable by dietary changes (usually a product/diet/'treatment' they are selling). The lack of a citation or being supportable is also very shoddy at best.

Gender dysphoria
Having made an over-hasty disambiguation with Gender dysphoria,  I felt that it might be more appropriate to have a separate section on the term: #Gender_dysphoria. But I'm not at all sure that's the right decision either... 86.140.51.65 (talk) 15:46, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Dysphoria as shorthand for Gender Dysphoria
Laypeople generally only use this word when referring to gender dysphoria, and typically omit the 'gender' part for the sake of shorthand. Thus, I've restored a previously-deleted section of text that said so and added a citation that supports this.

However, I'm pretty sure we should simply have something at the top that indicates this more formally. I'm not super-experienced in wikipedia editing, so I'm not sure how best to do this. I'm pretty sure I've seen preface lines something like "Did you mean gender dysphoria?", but I'm not sure of the exact syntax. I think that would probably be ideal, if anyone knows the proper way to do it. Felice Enellen (talk) 19:36, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Removal of gender disphoria?
Who do we feel about this diff? I think the removal seems unjustified but it does raise the question of whether this content is in the correct location within the article or whether there are any other specific types of disphoria that should also be covered alongside this. Thoughts? DanielRigal (talk) 10:21, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

RSD
> defined as emotional deregulation or unbearable RSD "rejection sensitivity dysphoria"

Calling into question the term 'emotional deregulation' which I believe may have been meant as 'dysregulation' as well as the validity of RSD as a component of ADHD.

RSD is not a diagnosable condition. It is not in the DSM-5 and has no real evidence in support of it. It's existence is highly contested and almost entirely based on one article and popularity within ADHD communities. AKADDK (talk) 04:44, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Please can somebody check this edit?
I am unsure as to whether this edit should be reverted? It seems to add content of dubious relevance but maybe I am missing something? DanielRigal (talk) 12:07, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
 * As it was completely unsourced, I reverted it. I believe the editor means well but I think in a scientific/medical article like this, sources are a must. Fred Zepelin (talk) 18:47, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
