Labels. I read them too. Understanding is a whole different thing.

Labels are un-fun but as someone who has a family member with the issue I can not dispute the definition. It is a real issue and quite challenging for everyone involved.

  Did it have to be, is the question. Did you help make the label?

    Did you help make the label? No, a collection of psycho-analysts made the label and the description. The label is for the extreme condition of what was being described.

      What is extreme? And to who? Who watches the label makers?

        Who watches the label makers? I've always been curious about this myself. This is a loaded topic but the DSM has had a history of revision based on societal and political feedback so it is not entirely clear to me who ensures that the content is strictly following rigorous scientific process. I rarely quote any of their content unless I have personally witnessed overwhelming anecdotal and observational evidence myself, mostly due to not believing anything I read. I have my own theories as to the actual cause and potential treatments both in terms of bandaging the symptoms and curing the underlying root causes of O.D.D. but testing those theories have potential legal ramifications and going through proper channels are expensive.

        I’ll give the answer. The shrinks only came about in 19-somethng? You’ve seen the James Webb telescope pics right? Forget for a second. Humans lived quite awhile. Not since 1900 What shrink would you send to anyone in 72 AD? We all lived a long ass time. No, I think not, I think the DSM can go away. I think not. The history of the world is madness, and some idiots that major in some bullshit cannot label such a thing. Up to us I guess. Edit: I want them to label Cesear first, and his populous next Then Lincoln Then the dead in the Civil War Label them first Then label me.

        To be honest I wouldn't use the fact the field of studying pathological psychology is relatively new to human history as a point against it. Germ theory is also quite new. Washing hands is also a 19th century innovation. We had mental illness diagnoses for a long time before the 19th century-- female hysteria, for example.

        I just think you’re wrong. We can agree to disagree. History too wild to label it. Modern psychology is an advent of Modern History, academically speaking, 1815-to, today. They latched on, to an understanding of history. Whatever, the economy needs seats filled I guess. I’ll talk, but Jesus, they dying out there, like always. Edit: How do you label death?
