==Thersites complex== In medicine, the term '''Thersites complex''' refers to patients who have a very minor deformity, yet who are extremely anxious about it. They frequently contact surgeons to correct their "highly perceived" deformity. The doctors tend to ignore the complaint and refer them to psychologists and psychiatrists. Psychotherapy, however is often refused, or ineffective.<ref name="Mühlbauer_2001" >{{cite journal | vauthors = Mühlbauer W, Holm C, Wood DL| title = The Thersites complex in plastic surgical patients | journal = Plast Reconstr Surg | volume = 107 | issue = 2 | pages = 319–26| date = February 2001 | doi =10.1097/00006534-200102000-00003 |pmid = 11214044 | s2cid = 41763229 }}</ref>
