I have BPD so i require a specific form of CBT. I wouldn't have known that without a diagnosis...so im all for people being told whats wrong with them, it helps them get a hold on the situation and stops them feeling freaky in my view.

meh... it ain't exact science... and I think the dehumanizing process when one becomes a set of symptoms can hurt much more than not knowing diagnosis, especially for those of us who are not really book example of the label.

What is wrong you? Will some scientific label help you to stop acting certain way... or rather know that in some situation, you act like this, because of this (sadly DSM.... does not really tell why. They list what it is and how it looks... with little explanation given).

Our whys are complex and those should be focused on rather than the label.
