As i once told the psychologist who was doing my evaluation...that if he went and had an evaluation and did not disclose his being a psychologist he would be diagnosed with something also...because that is what they are being paid to do...label you with something from the DSM...if every person was forced to be evaluated at a particular age say 18 every last human would be diagnosed as having some sort of disorder...so who is to say we are "abnormal"...Is my coping and maladaptive behavior abnormal because society says it is not normal? Well what would be a "normal" reaction to the experiences and trauma I have gone through in my life? Why are they not "NORMAL" reactions or responses?
