Doc, what is my diagnosis?
This question often divides specialists into two camps:
Some believe that diagnosis is the most important step at the beginning of work, revealing and explaining more than anything else.
Others believe that diagnosis is something rigid and outdated, best ignored if you want to do "real" work.
One might assume that the first group consists almost exclusively of doctors, and the second of psychologists, but in my experience, even this distribution is unclear. What can we even say about the certainty of diagnosis in such a complex, multidimensional, and living substance as the human psyche?
So today, trying not to get too technical, I'll discuss in a free-flowing manner what diagnosis is, what place it occupies in the mental health care system, and what might lie behind the attempts to define it at all costs or ignore it at all costs.
Please share your opinions, feedback, impressions, and questions in the comments. Mutual respect and constructive criticism are welcome.
