  A look at the history of psychiatry’s foundational impact on the lives of queer and gender-variant people. 
    
  In the mid-twentieth century, American psychiatrists proclaimed homosexuality a mental disorder, one that was treatable and amenable to cure. Drawing on a collection of previously unexamined case files from St. Elizabeths Hospital, In the Shadow of Diagnosis explores the encounter between psychiatry and queer and gender-variant people in the mid- to late-twentieth-century United States. It examines psychiatrists’ investments in understanding homosexuality as a dire psychiatric condition, a judgment that garnered them tremendous power and authority at a time that historians have characterized as psychiatry’s “golden age.” That stigmatizing diagnosis made a deep and lasting impact, too, on queer people, shaping gay life and politics in indelible ways. In the Shadow of Diagnosis helps us understand the adhesive and ongoing connection between queerness and sickness.

  Rhinophyma - Understanding...

  Rhinophyma is a chronic and progressive skin condition that primarily affects the nose, causing it to become enlarged, red, and bulbous. Often associated with rosacea, rhinophyma is more commonly seen in individuals with a history of this inflammatory skin disorder. While rosacea presents as a facial rash with redness and visible blood vessels, rhinophyma is characterized by thickening of the skin, resulting in a noticeably distorted and often disfigured appearance of the nose. This condition, though not life-threatening, can significantly impact a person’s self-esteem and social interactions, as it alters their physical appearance and may carry social stigmas. 
  Historically, rhinophyma was misunderstood and even ridiculed in various cultures, with little regard for its medical implications. In the past, it was often associated with excessive alcohol consumption, as the condition was more commonly seen in individuals who exhibited symptoms of rosacea, a disorder that sometimes coincided with alcoholism. This led to misconceptions about the causes and nature of rhinophyma, further complicating its recognition and treatment. Today, however, medical research has brought a more thorough understanding of rhinophyma, emphasizing its underlying causes and the role of rosacea in its development. 
  The exact cause of rhinophyma remains uncertain, but it is believed to be the result of a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. While rhinophyma is more common in individuals with a family history of rosacea, other factors such as skin irritation, exposure to extreme temperatures, and sun damage may also contribute to its onset. Hormonal changes, particularly during periods of increased testosterone, may also play a significant role in the development of this condition, which is why it is more common in middle-aged and older men than in women.
