Former Medically Recognised Disorders (F-MRDs)

F-MRD refers to a disorder that used to be recognised but no longer is. This includes old names for renamed disorders as well a disorders that have been entirely gotten rid of.

Just because the medical community has stopped using certian terms doesn't mean nobody will ever identify as them.

Admitidally, this is not all F-MRDs. Far from it. F-MRDs are not created by those in the MUD community, they are ideas proposed and later disavowed by medical professionals. This list is only of some MUD supportive flags for F-MRDs for now. I do in future plan to do a lot of research into F-MRDs and add as many as I can find.

Disclaimer: Many F-MRDs are no longer recognised for good reasons. As the medical world advances, it finds better ways to describe things and combat previous biases. Though just because they are not useful to the medical world, does not mean they cannot be useful for specfic indviduals. Using a F-MRD label does not mean someone is advocating for them to be recognised again.
