Page duplication and page name confusion[edit source | reply | new]

This page needs to be merged with Patient mental health

Mental health category[edit source | reply | new]

The Category:Diseases now has a subcategory of Category:Mental disorders - this should make it far easier to navigate the long list of diseases.

Some of the mental disorders are things like Pervasive Refusal Syndrome so wouldn't be in Co-morbotiez, although some are.

The Category uses "main article" to highlight the Patient mental health page at the moment. notjusttired (talk) 11:31, 19 February 2019 (EST)

Page name redirects[edit source | reply | new]

I would like to have links for mental health, mental illness and mental disorders either pointing to the category or pointing to a disambiguation page where either the article or category can be found.

I would also like the main article to not include the word patient - what about Mental health in ME/CFS instead? Mental health overview?

Should the page be covering misdiagnosing mental health problems in people with ME/CFS (or Fibro)? Or where both exist together?

On the pages for particular conditions I think it's helpful to convert both.

I'd suggest we solve this by adding a link to the page listing all the entries categorized under "Mental health" (perhaps in "See also"?) For the sake of keeping MEpedia stucture consistent, I tend to think that's the best way to do it rather than have a mainspace page automatically redirect to category space. And I do think it's worthwhile to have a main entry on Mental health that can give a summary of the big topics (including misdiagnosis, for sure) and then link out to more detailed pages. At this time I wouldn't see a need to have a page titled Mental health in ME/CFS just yet, since essentially every page is X Topic in ME/CFS, but, if eventually this page gets too large, there's always an option to fork that off. This was really just a prelimary start; I'll work on filling it out but of course welcome everyone else's additions too. Canele (talk) 21:16, 19 February 2019 (EST)
