Talk:Multiple-complex Developmental Disorder

[edit] Merger Proposal

The article Multisystem Developmental Disorder appears to be describing the same condition as Multiple-complex Developmental Disorder, so I have proposed they be merged into this article. There does not appear to be much information about these developmental disorders, so I would rather see if anyone else with a little expertise on multiplex developmental disorder has to say before I just merge them.--NeantHumain 18:33, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

• Strong oppose. Not the same thing at all. Multi-system developmental disorder has nothing to do with anxiety or phobias. Please do not just assume that because the names sound similar they must be the same thing. --woggly 19:59, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I hope you don't mind I've gone ahead an removed the merge label, as it seemed to me that you suggested the merge only because you knew less than I do about the difference between these two terms. I've also expanded the Multisystem Developmental Disorder article to clarify the distinction. MultiSYSTEM Developmental Disorder is a diagnosis applied only to small children, and is a relatively mild disorder. MultiCOMPLEX Developmental Disorder comes with a lot more baggage: severe emotional and behavioral problems, panic attacks etc. I agree that the terms sound too similar, I would change them if I could, but unfortunately I was not granted that power. ;-) --woggly 06:33, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
