I agree any labels can be used against you in a sense. I've had problems getting treated for physical health issues as I've been told it's all in my head (ie anxiety), when it wasn't. So I was misdiagnosed and had really serious implications and had long term affects from having a MH diagnosis in my record....long story.

I can relate in both cases. Since I was misdiagnosed with mixed personality disorder while IP even if my psychiatrist says I donīt have any, I was told I was being manipulative when trying to tell them I wasn't safe.
When I was IP for a physical reason and I got mild pseudoparkinsonism from a med they gave me from nausea, they thought it was just anxiety... and said it was all in my head.
