> out of curiosity, what is the point of finding out a dx over finding out what just works? psychiatric diagnoses are so vague that, to draw a comparison to lung disease, it is okay to say, alright, yeah, this patient coughs... we`d better try some amoxycillin... when it won`t do a thing for someone coughing from black lung disease. this is just a question that i have always wondered about, i am not trying to be rude, but why fixate on dx?
Very well put...IMO psychiatric diagnosis means very little, and making someone feel better is the most important thing.
