Diagnosing the Slightly Off
Yes, you have a syndrome.
You just haven't been diagnosed yet.
You're not alone.
You're not broken.
You're just a little off-and that's okay.
In fact, your off-ness might be what makes you loveable. And predictable. And completely exhausting to travel with.
his book is a satirical field guide to the syndromes we all carry-the irrational behaviors, emotional landmines, and endearing little meltdowns that make us who we are. You won't find these in the DSM. You'll find them in group texts, checkout lines, team meetings, and family vacations.
Each chapter is a case file.
Each disorder is fake-but also painfully real.
Each patient? Loosely based on you. Sorry about that.
These are not clinical diagnoses.
These are... observations.
From a totally unlicensed, emotionally overworked therapist named Dr. Sy Camore.
He's not board certified, but he does own a clipboard and occasionally sighs deeply before saying things like, Ah, yes. Classic default no disorder.
Syndromedy is meant to make you laugh-mostly at yourself. But it's also an invitation to notice the strange little glitches in others... and love them anyway. That person who narrates their workout to everyone in line at Starbucks? Diagnosable. The one who can't RSVP without spiraling? Definitely diagnosable. The guy who ghosted a group text like it owed him money? He's featured in Chapter Two.
So settle in.
Breathe deeply.
Take notes if you must.
And remember:
You're not broken.
You're just funny.
And definitely diagnosable.
