I’m glad you took the time to respond, even if I’m not sure how many dive into these comments.

I agree completely with you. I read the article and thought, I really don’t think anyone in healthcare really truly thinks the diagnoses are simple illnesses with an organic cause anymore. But the frameworks are helpful to direct what treatment options we have/as guidelines.

I find patients themselves want a name for what they’re experiencing, even if it is an approximation of what’s going on with them.

But at the end of the day, it’s no surprise people are depressed, anxious, etc when there are so many fundamentally broken things in the world.

God I wish you were my therapist! That was a hell of a read and also a bit of hope that there’s still some good ones out there. I’ve had such bad luck so far finding someone that seems to care or even cares enough to try and appear as if they do.

Thank you for this.
