Honestly though the DSM and all the diagnoses in it is one of the most harmful things to have ever happened. Especially the lies and misunderstandings it promotes.
There’s also a lot of ‘therapy’ types which aren’t at all helpful. The most commonly promoted and attempted to be used is CBT which looks to solve symptoms, not underlying root causes by reframing them.
A lot of modern therapy isn’t all that great at understanding individuals (or plural groups), really getting to the core of their problems and not treating them just like a littany of problems, all thanks to the DSM, even the therapist we see agrees, she thinks it would be better if we burned the DSM.
Sadly we think it’ll be a while before a lot of therapy given to folks is actually any good or useful and has caused so much harm in the process because it really isn’t built for purpose and based on foundational lies and misunderstandings.
