Imo no label is really beneficial. To a certain degree it is helpful to know what you're dealing with, but some people get too caught up on this label or that label. Example, my family consistently labels me "schizophrenic", even though some docs have ruled that out entirely. They say just because sometimes I forget to shower a day or brush my teeth that I don't take care of my personal hygiene and I try to tell them honestly that sometimes I get tired or just plain old forget. I hate it to be frank, it really pisses me off, like you are not a psychiatrist so don't diagnose my condition please, you know nothing about how I feel or what I go through I am just so fed up with passive aggressive suggestions and wannabe doctors that I feel the need to vent.
