Anthropologists have observed that one clear sign of a modern culture is the advanced array of exotic maladies that its members are subject to. Vikings, for example, appear not to have suffered from high rates of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome on the physical side of the ledger or (despite their geographical proximity) Stockholm Syndrome on the mental side. In contrast, modern life is chockablock with highly evolved afflictions of the body and mind.
Since tech innovation and adoption have continued to advance at breakneck speed in recent years, it stands to reason that new physical and mental ailments must be emerging at a rapid clip, too. And so they are. Here's a look at ten cutting-edge conditions--five physical and five mental--that are so new that the AMA hasn't worked out a recommended price schedule for treating them yet. If you're an early adopter, you'll want to be the first on your block to collect all ten!
