I do approve of the Mental Disease Ontology as a project of fellow bioinformaticians to replace the mess of the psychiatrists but to me the Mental Disease Ontology doesn’t look like it’s a solution.
When it comes to cancerophobia and AIDS phobia both of those terms seem to me like they point to symptoms and there might be different underlying mechanisms in different patients.
It’s also not clear to me why impulse control disorders are supposed to be no cognitive disorders.
