Thank you for that. The fact is that a lot of conditions are on a spectrum, and only the individual can decide whether it's affecting their happiness enough to be A Problem. For example, social anxiety plus executive dysfunction seems to be a super common combination among the students at my local high school. But really, who doesn't have at least a little of both? By identifying their vague "issues" as a specific thing that affects more than just them, people might be able to find a community that can provide support and useful advice, or professional help and perhaps even medication. That's what taxonomy and terminology are for: to be descriptive, not prescriptive, and thereby to understand the world. I've seen it help in far more cases than I've seen it cause harm - though the latter does happen, and it's a thing professionals know to look out for.
Also, gotta say, as much as I hate TikToxic there are even worse places to look for mental health advice. :looks at some of the other threads:
