Hey. Sorry I have taken so long to get back to you on this.
> So it seems like there was a progression to conforming to society's definitions or diagnosises as I became more aware of them.
Yeah. I can trace my deterioration to my first hospitalisation. Not to say everything was all wonderful before then. But my behavioural symptoms... Escalated. And became a lot more frequent.
I think... There is something about how some people do deteriorate on admission / with contact from the service. Suprise, suprise, that was the verdict with hysteria too.
People started considering... How much it was the presence of psychiatry / psychiatric intervention / therapy that reinforced people exhibiting those symptoms.
Hence... Therapist created disorders.
Though... Maybe it has a lot to do with the concepts and theories too. Especially... In people who like to read (I sometimes wonder if I am my own worst enemy)...
Thanks for sharing.
