> PKU is a brilliant example that flouts the traditional "biological illness merits biological treatment" approach. Actually, it's a behavioral change that is required instead. Parents must modify the diet they feed their newborn and learn how to recognize which foods are appropriate or inappropriate. By changing an environmental variable, such as parenting and nourishment, a genetic disease can be thwarted. Today PKU kids grow up with relatively intact health (even though their phood is probably not so tasty).Yeah, brilliant example, cheers for that.
One question...
Is PKU considered a psychiatric condition or a general medical condition?
Was it ever considered psychiatric do you know?
