These patients have "limb weakness or disorders of movement or gait"

Yet Wessely only considered demographics: "more likely to be female, British, married, employed pre-morbidly, to have a carer and a physical health condition, but less likely to have had an inpatient psychiatric admission or to receive benefits."

How can the medical system not see how the psychiatric industry is abusing / imprisoning these patients?
