This was a great read. It does seem like most people are under the impression that mental health diagnoses are perfectly concrete; in some cases, that the very act of being diagnosed (of being categorised) is a panacea in itself.

Victim mentality, macdonald mentality, ready made, easy solution mentality loves diagnosis labels. They are useful but they are a tool for clinicians people think the DSM 5 is a recipe book everyone can use

! GREAT INSIGHT!
The DSM-V, metaphorically speaking IS something of a “recipe book” for components to an individual’s initial plastic, multivariate psychological construction.
As a patient makes progress to wellness, different aspects may be revealed and treated accordingly.

It's not. You are giving them far too much faith and attributing what you wanted to hear from them. I've heard that from every single uncle lost to Fox News and Limbaugh and the hosts themselves for years. It isn't that nuanced, though everyone takes different things from texts.
