I hope it’s okay to post this news article today about how difficult it is to nail down a certain type of, if any, diagnosis for the current person in the WH.

I found this article extremely informative.

The person who authored this news article is someone who helped publish the DSM back in 1978. His honesty is refreshing… and it helps me to better understand how incredibly hard it can be for anyone as a licensed professional in mental health is somehow constrained by the manual and axis used to categorically record certain conditions (etc).
