This isn’t my field so trying to speak with any authority isn’t possible but amongst my close colleagues we feel that pervasive labelling and the need to name every phase ends up creating in some people ‘tethers’ around which a person’s entire psychological makeup revolves. It’s good to forget sometimes. Ie person goes through bad breakup. Would meet clinical (DSM-V) depression definition. After a year goes and sees a therapist and gets on antidepressants. Begins to feel good. Stays with therapy. The rest of their life is now a pivot point around that breakup. They’re labelled as depressed. Other stuff comes up. In some worlds, maybe that’s necessary. In others, maybe they come good, make lifestyle changes, find happiness again, and don’t have the label or the antidepressants for life.
