Ridefinire la malattia: tra rischio di medicalizzazione e urgenza formativa

The definition of disease is not a purely theoretical exercise but a choice with significant implications for clinical practice, public health, and resource management. The expansion of diagnostic criteria, aimed at reducing underdiagnosis, has led to an increase in overdiagnosis and overtreatment - critical issues still too little addressed in medical education and public communication.

Abstract

The definition of disease is not a purely theoretical exercise but a choice with significant implications for clinical practice, public health, and resource management. The expansion of diagnostic criteria, aimed at reducing underdiagnosis, has led to an increase in overdiagnosis and overtreatment - critical issues still too little addressed in medical education and public communication.
