Health
Matters - Diagnosis Index
Everyone
is different and some may be more, less or differently
affected than others. Because it is such a major issue
for victims and there being a large range of possible diagnoses,
jfo are bringing together the most comprehensive section
on health for victims. If
this area interests you, you may also wish to check out
Bully News Now, which includes postings on health matters.
We
hope to allow
access to the best health information on all possible affects
of workplace bullying - and what the options
are for recovery. Although this information is available
in general terms on a variety of health websites, the
health information on these pages is specifically focused
to the cause, effect and recovery from workplace bullying.
You
may wish to consider asking your partner, family and friends
to read this site, so that they know more about how you
are suffering and what they can do to help. Why not forward
them a link if you cannot get the words out?
Please
note unless specified our contributors are not
medical or legal professionals and all information
is given in good faith. Should
you know of any correction that should be made or
can add to the information, please contact me.

Any external link for the DSM criteria accesses a website

criteria.
