I am not surprised to hear that women are overdiagnosed with mental illnesses (Are women really more mentally ill than men?As a psychologist, I'm not so sure, 8 March).In my 30s, I developed systemic lupus erythematosus, which went undiagnosed for several years, my symptoms wrongly diagnosed by (male) GPs as stress triggered by a high-powered job.
