In 1952, the APA \u00a0(American Psychiatric Association) listed homosexuality in the DSM ( <\/p>\n

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders)<\/i>\u00a0I as a sociopathic<\/a> personality disturbance. Of course, they changed cathegory to it by the second one (1968) though homosexuality was not anymore a disorder but a disturbance only by the 1974 edition of DSM II. (And not even that only in 1987 – DSM III-Revisited). I just find this interesting – how old was the shrink who diagnosed Sherlock\u2019s sociopathy? And which DSM edition did he use? \ud83d\ude09\u00a0<\/p>\n

I did my research. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Of course it would be a private psychiatrist. Probably some old family contact who could be trusted to be very discrete. I\u2019m thinking early to mid 1990\u2019s time frame but someone who was trained decades earlier. (And now I\u2019m thinking of the discussion of the psychiatrist in the movie Carol, but that\u2019s not relevant.)<\/p>\n

Mark Gatiss lived next to a mental hospital when he was a child. From wikipedia: \u201cHe grew up opposite the Edwardian psychiatric hospital where his father worked.\u201d I can\u2019t believe Mark Gatiss had never been curious and never looked up old psychiatric handbooks.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

@enjoytheelephant Wow, interesting!!<\/p>\n

I know, right? It\u2019s the kind of headcanon that\u2019s interesting and very much hinted at on the show and not at all far fetched but most of all extremely heartbreaking.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
