And say like with ADHD, you get more help at Uni and that. It all depends on the person I guess, cos some people wear their labels with a badge of honour which is not good.

Well people like to identify with something and sometimes that might be all they have sad as it is. I hate labels as you might have noticed, someone might be prone to certain symptoms but thats it for me, no two people are alike and very often people in distress have symptoms from all of the labels I dont see how a psychiatrist who sees you for 5 minutes a week can put anyone in a particular box, its ridiculous, a persons diagnosis could change from day to day depending on their mood and what theyre feeling and that In my experience is the truth of it. Treat symptoms not a diagnosis, thats the way its heading and so it should
