Thanks for posting ChaoticEnigma. I think the brutal stigma attached to most of these diagnoses is... sub optimal. I don’t have the right words to describe how I feel about the stigma

I completely agree that they are only a piece of who someone is, and not the definition of them. I think psychiatry etc still has a very long way to go and many improvements will hopefully (maybe) happen eventually
