the trick to diagnosing
so if you deny a problem... clearly... you have one... yet... if you admit to a problem... good for you... you have a problem. so wait... what exactly do you look for to see if someone DOES NOT have a problem?
Great trick if your intentions are to diagnose someone, but what if your job is actually to see whether or not a person has a problem?
if a child gets distracted once, does that mean they have add?\
if a person gets irritable and snaps once, does that mean they have a rage problem?
if a person arranges their tic-tacs in the container once out of boredom, does that make them OCD?
c'mon seriously... we're going to need to use a little bit more judgment than this. generalizations are driving me crazy. stop trying to diagnose the world and how about we do whats human. let us understand that people make mistakes, both big and small, let us understand people for being different rather than "weird because its not like me... or its not WASP enough), let us realize that people get colds and don't necessarily need antibiotic to get over it (just an immune system).
in my personal opinion, diagnoses must be based on repeated uncontrollable patterns acted out by the subject. and i'm pretty positive i can apply this to any diagnosis.
just some things i've been thinking about.
