Psychiatry humor

Have any of you ever heard of pass syndrome? Somebody told me that it is a psychiatric disorder caused by the victim's divorced parents' fighting. I suppose it has been demonstrated to exist by MRI-scans? And the poor, impoverished pharmaceutical companies are receiving government grants to develop a cure or vaccine for it?

I would like to propose that the DSM assigns a number to the following diseases:

EDS (Economic Deficiency Syndrome);

Hyperoccupatia (having too much to do);

MUS (Maladjusted to Unemployment Syndrome);

Clausterthemia (an illness caused by residing in a dwelling that's too small);

Dyseducatia (not fitting in to the school system);
 
and

PVD (Post Vacational Depression, not to be confused with Lunditis, which used to be called Monday morning melancholy).

    Former Ohio State football star Maurice Clarett now says he was given cash, free cars, and took no-show jobs while at the school. Experts say Clarett may not be ready for the NFL, but he's clearly qualified for a career in politics.
