"Dilbert" Creator Gets Voice Back

Scott Adams lost his voice 18 months ago to a disorder called Spasmodic Dysphonia. One day, it returned. He is apparently the first person in history to recover from this malady. Read his account. It is inspirational. I can't find any other word for it.

But it seems to me that emotional issues causing physical problems are an unexplored and undertreated area of modern American medicine.

That would be because it's complete quackery.

Unfortunately, the causes of long-term muscle pain and stiffness have not yet been elucidated and it tends to come and go in a random manner, allowing all sorts of bizarre hypotheses like Sarno's to flourish. But there have been solidly biologically grounded, entirely physical descriptions of the potential mechanism, notably Travell and Simons', so there's hardly the need to resort to Freudian claptrap.
