As a result of severance and inappropriate regeneration, the parasympathetic nerve fibers may switch course to a sympathetic response, resulting in "gustatory sweating" or sweating in the anticipation of eating, instead of the normal salivary response. It is often seen with patients who have undergone endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy, a surgical procedure wherein part of the sympathetic trunk is cut or clamped to treat sweating of the hands or blushing. The subsequent regeneration or nerve sprouting leads to abnormal sweating and salivation. It can also include discharge from the nose when smelling certain food. Rarely, Freys syndrome can result from causes other than surgery, including accidental trauma, local infections, sympathetic dysfunction and pathologic lesions within the parotid gland. An example of such rare trauma or localized infection can be seen in situations where a hair follicle has become ingrown, and is causing trauma or localized infection near or over one of the branches of the auriculotemporal nerve. Diagnosis
Diagnosis is made based on clinical signs and symptoms and a starch-iodine test, also known as the Minor test. The affected area of the face is painted with iodine which is allowed to dry, then dry corn starch is applied to the face. The starch turns blue on exposure to iodine in the presence of sweat.

Asthenic, inadequate, passive, and self-defeating personality (disorder)
It is a requirement of ICD-10 that a diagnosis of any specific personality disorder also satisfies a set of general personality disorder criteria. SWAP-200
The SWAP-200 is a diagnostic tool that was proposed with the goal of overcoming limitations, such as limited external validity for the diagnostic criteria for dependent personality disorder, to the DSM. It serves as a possible alternative nosological system that emerged from the efforts to create an empirically based approach to personality disorders – while also preserving the complexity of clinical reality. Dependent personality disorder is considered a clinical prototype in the context of the SWAP-200. Rather than discrete symptoms, it provides composite description characteristic criteria – such as personality tendencies.Based on the Q-Sort method and prototype matching, the SWAP-200 is a personality assessment procedure relying on an external observers judgment. It provides:

A personality diagnosis expressed as the matching with ten prototypical descriptions of DSM-IV personality disorders. A personality diagnosis based on the matching of the patient with 11 Q-factors of personality derived empirically. A dimensional profile of healthy and adaptive functioning.The traits that define dependent personality disorder according to SWAP-200 are:

They tend to become attached quickly and/or intensely, developing feelings and expectations that are not warranted by the history or context of the relationship. Since they tend to be ingratiating and submissive, people with DPD tend to be in relationships in which they are emotionally or physically abused. They tend to feel ashamed, inadequate, and depressed. They also feel powerless and tend to be suggestible.
