Galenic syndromes: combinations of mental state and personality disorders too closely entwined to be separated
Abstract
Many mental disorders are linked to personality, but this is rarely recognised in clinical practice. It is suggested here that when the links are very close, the two can be joined. Galenic syndromes are so named because Galen was the first physician to recognise the links between personality and disease.
