Wilson's Disease

Interesting that this episode's diagnosis is Wilson's Disease, which is the same diagnosis for the patient in episode 6 of season 1 (The Socratic Method). However, in this episode the patient shows signs of psychopathy (i.e.: personality disorder, showing lack of remorse), while in the episode The Socratic Method the patient shows symptoms of psychosis (loss of contact with reality, hearing voices).

The Remorse episode was written by Peter Blake, while the Socratic Method episode was written by John Mankiewicz.

I am not a doctor, so I must ask: Can Wilson's Disease really show signs of both psychopathy and psychosis, or did one of the writers got confused with the terms psychosis and psychopathy? --Pinnecco (talk) 01:08, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unless you're planning on the answer to your question serving as a basis for changing the article, this is not the appropriate place to pose such questions. Talk pages are only for discussion of issues related to improving an article. A medical blog is where you need to be. Cresix (talk) 02:54, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for stating the obvious. IT IS EVIDENT that this is the start of a discussion to see whether the article should be changed or not. I believe that it is quite likely that one of the writers got confused with the term. In particular, with psychopathy, since everywhere I read about Wilson's diseas so far points out that it can show symptoms of psychosis and NOT psychopathy. But instead of just being bold and changing the article, I thought that I would be able to have a discussion with other fellow wikipedians and see what they have to say... and I was hoping to keep the obnoxious know-it-all at bay. --Pinnecco (talk) 22:51, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Let me suggest that you keep the personal comments out, per WP:NPA. Now, in response to your question, Wilson's disease can result in cognitive impairment and in some cases psychotic symptoms but not personality disorder. So how do you propose changing the article? Cresix (talk) 23:14, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, since you brought the subject up, stating that your reply towards my post (observed behaviour) was perceived by me as obnoxious and condescending doesn't constitute a PA.

As for the article, if it is confirmed that Wilson's disease can only cause symptoms of psychosis and not psychopathy, then clearly the episode Remorse is flawed. I believe it is quite curious and worth mentioning that the same diagnosis (Wilson's Disease) was used in an episode for the first season, correctly pointing to psychosis; only to be used again in this episode but the writer this time confused psycopathy with psychosis. Quite a slip-up isn't it? --Pinnecco (talk) 04:33, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Medical review of "Remorse"

"Lots of"? More like ALL of them. I can't remember a single episode in the show's entire run that was flawlessly written. And after the first couple of seasons the mistakes have been consistently retarded. Now the medicine in that show is like the science in Jimmy Neutron.--Plavalagunanbanshee (talk) 00:59, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
