individual symptoms by far! (for many reasons) IMHO, labels are highly overrated, more so when it comes to depression and bipolar (which is what I have) and often inaccurate. For schizophrenia, schizo-affective, DID, MPD, SAD, etc. I can't comment.
> I'm just curious to know what all of your opinions are about one particular thing. Which do you believe is more important in treating psychiatric patients -- accurate diagnoses (labels) or individual symptoms? I'll post my opinions concerning this after I absorb some of y'all's (oh boy... 8 years and TX and now the dialect is creeping up on me, lol) wisdom and insight. Oh, and of course "both" is an acceptable answer. :-)
