Wow. I'm wondering if that could be rewritten in more neutral terms. If I saw that on my receipt, I would never be able to drag myself back to that clinician and show my face. I think it might make me withdraw from people altogether, feel stigmatized by my illness, and feel dysphoric.
They're blaming the internet for that? I wonder how much of it is iatrogenic.
I guess that's one of the secondary diagnoses they don't put on your receipt for insurance purposes. And I suppose my reaction would be why...
