Quibbling with the classification is missing the forest for the trees here, I think. It's a chronic condition that requires some kind of treatment to be dealt with. People have the same kind of quarrels with defining alcoholism or drug addiction as a disease, but we have limited time on this planet and we can argue about labels or we can spend that time instead trying to address the actual concerns.
- hopia 7y agoAgreed. I guess where it becomes a problem is when we try to find the most suitable treatment for it. I know from experience that these labels can dictate the whole treatment plan in public hospitals/clinics without much further investigation whether that label's approved standard treatment plan really is suitable for your particular case or not.
