Many probably know that the program "Live healthy" often comes under criticism. And this time, there were. Leading Elena Malysheva, called mentally not developed "children - cretins." Yes, quite a dramatic statement, and even more so in the center channel.
There is nothing supernatural about it. The Soviet medical textbooks thirty years ago, you can see the pictures with the children, which are attributed to such a diagnosis. Moreover, they used terms such as "moron," "idiot," "imbecile" (debilizm, idiocy, imbecility).
Now Russia has adopted the standard international qualification diseases 10 revision. All diagnosis is based on the ICD-10. It says that there are different degrees of mental retardation, which belong to the psychiatric diagnosis. Diagnosis "cretinism", is not there.
Previously, the term "cretinism" called endocrine disease caused by thyroid disorders and a lack of hormones. As a result, people, mental deficiency was observed.
Currently, due to the moral and ethical principles, this term ceased to use, as it is offensive and has long gone beyond the scope of medicine. Why do many doctors are unhappy malyshevoy in the transmission of a "child-nerd"?
At first. The program is called "cretinism" mental retardation. That according to the ICD-10 does not correspond to reality.
Secondly. When you use outdated term, it is necessary to refer to the fact that now it is no longer used, so as not to mislead people.
Within the cognitive health program, it is acceptable. This is not a hospital, where accurate diagnosis is made. The main thing intelligible and interesting to the viewer to reveal the subject. The main thing is not to overstep the scope of ethics and morality.
