Unscientific
[edit]The article fails to note that MPI is not a recognised disorder in any field of medicine. Nor does it cite the extensive criticisms of MPI spanning over a century. Please place this article in the pseudoscience section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.100.55.130 (talk) 04:37, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
- Got a reliable source that talks about this? Preferably a review article in a medical journal? That's usually the first step to making these types of changes to Wikipedia articles. –Novem Linguae (talk) 07:04, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
- Mass Phsychogenic Illness (MPI - Anosognosia as a result of MFP/MPP/Stockholm) or Mass Formation Psychosis (MFP - Cults/Mass Hysteria leading to Mobbing) or Mass Polarization Psychosis (MPP - Larger Competing MFO Groups) are all in the same line of cult and or hostage defense research, they are recognized in many places as being related under a different title as Stockholm Syndrome and as a result Anosognosia . –Something Positive (talk) 09:57, 3 January 2022 (PST) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:601:CA80:B540:C953:B0F1:7CA5:55F3 (talk)
- The article already states that 'It is not well understood and its causes are uncertain' and 'The DSM-IV-TR does not have specific diagnosis for this condition'. There is no scientific evidence to back up this diagnosis. That makes it pseudoscience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.228.129.52 (talk) 10:15, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

- The article doesn't call it a diagnosis. It's simply an observed phenomenon. It's not attempting to explain anything, and therefore is not a pseudoscience. 108.26.253.243 (talk) 03:37, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
