Labels can do more harm than good

If you are easily offended, I suggest you stop reading now.

Over 40 years exposure to "therapists" and "medications" has led me to view psychiatry and psychology as pseudo science at best, and a total scam at worst. They care about only two things: profit and evading any liability.

Labels can restrict our thinking whether that be patient or doctor. Confirmation bias kicks in. Arrogance kicks in.
There used to be a crummy fad for astrology and everyone was eager to tell you they were "a leo" or "a virgo". Now it is "I am this mental illness with a side order of this mental illness"

It can lead to excuse making and feeds into attention seeking behavior and wallowing.

Oh, the DSM is purely scientific and accurate? So why did it list homosexuality as a mental illness until only a few years ago?

Unlike an MD who has to produce results, a "therapist" somehow never makes anyone sane. They produce nothing.
