The issue with terms in psychiatry
I'm exposing myself to a lot of possible hate on the internet with this post, so let me explain my initiative first. I believe that one of the many issues with modern psychiatry and diagnosis comes from the lack of distinction regarding the terms used, which was aggravated by many mental health post on social medias, especially on Tik Tok and Instagram, and lead to confusion and generalization. Now, I'm a not a psychiatrist neither a medical or psychology student, however I've read many articles but that doesn't make an expert. I simply have an educated opinion. And I believe that because I'm none of the above, it gives me a very helpful insight as I have more distance and a more nuanced and critical views on the subject because I am not limited to an academic thinking and expected to follow the voice of the scientific knowledge recognized as such. This is a mainly a proposal and it is MY stance. There's 99% chances that I will be mistaking on some terms or others, and I'm aware of it. Feel free to call me out about it. I also expect you to disagree with me or debate or argue, and I'll happily discuss it with you as long as you are respectful, to me or anyone else in the comments or reblog. You also have to understand that I will contradict and criticize the current scientific views on the terms. I am aware of it ; this is not me making a mistake, this is my opinion and actually also a proposal that I would like every academical expert to at least take the time to analyze before refuting. Also something that I will say might be already recognized as a scientific stance in some part of the world, as psychology and psychiatry have very different views given the area and the university. To read my opinion, go check the reblog. And one last time, please be respectful, you can disagree without being violent or insulting.
