Abstract
This editorial highlights increasing prevalence and treatment rates of apparently disparate disorders. We ask whether cross-disorder factors including greater mental health literacy, social media and a shift to psychiatric explanations for distress contribute to these trends. We highlight a consequence: the changing doctor-patient relationship and its impacts.
