I think this list is pretty good and I find the list long enough for a general encyclopedia. However, it would better be organized a little bit. All these diseases may be classified as a.psychoses (organic, functional), b.neuroses or psychoneuroses, c.personality disorders, d.others (psychosexual disorders, disorders of childhood, disorders of impulse control etc.). But, I think organizing the whole list requires a psychiatrist rather than a neurologist. On the other hand, narcolepsy and Tourette's syndrome are definitely not psychiatric disorders. Their organic etiologies were identified ErdemTuzun.
OK. This is just a starting point.
Anyway do we have psychiatrists here ?
This page could be a short description with subpages.
One example would be :
Alphabetic list :
Nosological list :

...which is one of the things about Psyciatry I find particularly notable. As soon as a medically proven and remediable condition is found for an erstwhile "psychiatric" condition, the condition immediately becomes medical and no longer psychiatric - which leaves psychiatry with only those conditions which cannot be predicted, proved or cured. Hmmm...
I think we should also pay attention to the fact that not all of these illnesses, perhaps, are always spelled with capital letters--in which case, the articles about those illnesses shouldn't be so spelled either. Please see naming conventions. --LMS
