Also: I was thinking about how some folks get real bent out of shape about psychiatric diagnoses. Asking why we need labels, or saying, now it's our identity and that's a problem (or something). Or doubting the validity, because labels for things that they minimize means that modern medicine pathologizes everything.

A reminder:

It's called a mental disorder because it dis-orders our lives. Diagnoses validate us and tell us where and how we can help ourselves.
