Hi!
Thank you for your post. :-)
I've often noticed than when I have known a person for 5 minutes, their problems seem to fit perfectly into a DSM category, but after I've known that person for 5 hours they don't fit the diagnosis at all! The more you learn about a person, the more individual and complicated their problems become.
Personally, I've received scores of different DSM diagnoses. Describing me as an anxious, obsessional neurotic would provide almost as much information!
Regards,
Ed.
