Title: Woman wanted sex change 'to become Christ'
Post by: LostInTime on November 01, 2006, 01:02:35 PM
No, I am not making this up (http://www.guardian.co.uk/medicine/story/0,,1936819,00.html)

The woman, identified only as patient D, told the General Medical Council disciplinary panel that consultant psychiatrist Dr Russell Reid had failed to recognise that she was suffering from manic depression when he gave her sex changing hormones and referred her for surgery to remove both her breasts.

Patient D told the hearing she had never been transsexual and considered it "lucky" that she was detained in a psychiatric hospital just before the operation was due to go ahead.

...

The inquiry heard that she first saw Dr Reid in March 1996 after watching a TV programme about transsexualism, which convinced her this was the reason for her history of depression.

Yep, delusions of grandeur are a common symptom of manic-depressives.
