"Normal" is another word like healed, cured, recovered or aberrant that depends on a baseline for comparison. We are unique individuals that engage in behavior that is deemed normal or abnormal on the basis of a consensus. The consensus may change.

I have had many labels over the years from trauma-induced hallucinations at the sight of octagon-shaped red capsules to apathy regarding unruly nose hairs. I have come to realize labels may help my treaters but mean little to me. What I want to know is how does the information produced affect my life and how do I best use what was discovered to my best benefit.
