This audiobook challenges the traditional view of Primary Polydipsia as a mental health issue and proposes a new physiological understanding rooted in hypovolemic dehydration, a condition linked to low blood volume often seen in illnesses like ME, POTS, and Long Covid. It argues that the longstanding classification of water drinking as psychogenic is based on Freudian errors and calls for a reevaluation of diagnosis and treatment. By highlighting the real bodily causes of excessive thirst, the book advocates for a more compassionate, accurate approach to patient care.
