Editing Ezra Pound (section)

===Diagnosis===
During a case conference at St. Elizabeths on 28 January 1946, six psychiatrists had concluded that Pound had [[psychopathic personality disorder]] but was not [[Psychosis|psychotic]]. Present during the meeting, he decided to lie on the floor while the psychiatrists interviewed him.<ref>Torrey (1992), 202–204</ref> In 1952 the American Psychiatric Association published its first ''[[Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders]]'' (DSM-1), and St. Elizabeths began diagnosing patients according to its definitions. In July 1953 a psychiatrist added to Pound's notes that he probably had [[narcissistic personality disorder]]. The main feature of Pound's personality, he wrote, was his "profound, incredible, over-weaning ''(sic)'' narcissism". A [[personality disorder]], unlike conditions that give rise to psychosis, is not regarded as a [[mental illness]], and the diagnosis would have made Pound fit to stand trial. On 31 May 1955, at the request of the hospital's superintendent Winfred Overholser, the diagnosis was changed to "psychotic disorder, undifferentiated", which is classified as mental illness.<ref>Torrey (1992), 248–249</ref> In 1966, after his release from St. Elizabeths, Pound was diagnosed with [[bipolar disorder]].<ref name=Rossi2008pp145-146/>
