a funny thing i see a lot is people who go "well that is an outdated understanding from the DSM-4, which is clearly wrong. instead, i'm going to completely believe this modern understanding from the DSM-5 as entirely accurate without any shadow of a doubt."
i am begging some of you to read the preface of the DSM-5
#im not saying that you shouldn't use the DSM-5#but treating it as the be-all-end-all on psychiatric disorders is kinda silly#it's a collection of the best we currently can put in writing. “best” does not mean “final” or “definitive”.#note that i am not a medical professional#that's why i want you to do your own reading on the matter#but also. please take it from someone who *is* being treated by medical professionals that it *is* beneficial to do your own reading#mental health#psychology#dsm 5#dsm 4
