>>For me, I love the NOS catagory. That is, as long
as the treatment is working. Is yours ?I agree. I'd add the question, 'would a different/new label guide treatment in a different way?'
And besides, the labels are always somewhat in flux.
I think that in many instances good diagnosis is really important because it can help to guide treatment decisions.
But sometimes, this kind of quest for a label resonates with me as that universal human search--for meaning, for the answer, for wholeness, for peace. And alas, I beleive then it is that unreachable star. We are destined to search but also to accept that we may not find the absolute that we yearn for.
