"Nowadays it can be spotted early through routine blood tests, he said. It is treated with B-12 pills or shots."
I guess the plus side is that this doctor recognized the possibility that this historical figure had PA, but it's kind of alarming that he thinks it is an easy to spot condition now.

Interesting. I couldn't help thinking that I would probably be described like that if I had lost 3 children and husband! Love the idea that PA is easily diagnosed and treated. No discussion on those problems. Poor woman to be left untreated and then thought of as mad. Been there!
"ill-tempered, moody, vain and insecure..... irritability, delusions and hallucinations... with a biochemically injured mind struggling in a complicated, relentlessly demanding environment.... auditory hallucinations, paranoia and delusions. ”
I agree with everyone's scepticism about the easily found diagnosis but you know wouldn't it be fabulous if such publicity helped our cause? We just need the media to grab such a story and run with it. It will happen. Eventually.
