> does that mean that having a diagnosis and a name for your problem is bad?

Not necessarily. Only if the diagnosis is "wrong"! If the diagnosis accurately portrays the symptoms and the origins or "meanings" of those symptoms are understood, at least in outline, then it can be useful.

You guys have to realize that I am not all-knowing. (Wow!) Unlike how some of our "leaders" seem to portray themselves ("I cannot think of any mistakes I have made.") in trying to hide their own uncertainties.

I am trying to understand something.
