Now it probably does not, yes despite a particular book getting a look of publicity! Read the article for some clear reasons why overdiagnosis isn't the major reason.

China, Russia and India have dispatched emergency teams and supplies to earthquake-ravaged Myanmar. So have Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. The U.S., the richest country in the world and once its most generous provider of foreign aid, has sent nothing.
