Hello :-)
Perhaps people might misunderstand me, I would not want that.

I have suffered from mental health problems all my life. I am sympathetic to others who also have problems. But I am not satisfied with the way in which psychiatric problems are classified. Are you?
Many of the people who have been diagnosed with conditions such as ADHD undoubtedly have problems. I was not suggesting otherwise.
A message to everyone.........
Look at the DSM. Do you really believe that these categories are adequate?
I look forward to the day when more specific methods of diagnosis are available. In the mean time, although we should always take peoples individual mental health problems seriously, perhaps it would be wise to take their DSM diagnosis a little less seriously.
Regards,
Ed.
