Not An Identity

Collage

Getting a mental health diagnosis can be an emotional ordeal. Nobody wants to be encapsulated into just one label that no doubt has stigma attached to it. However, if we shift our view, we can look at diagnoses as just a tool to point us in the direction of what treatment and interventions might be effective, we can reduce the stigma surrounding mental health diagnoses. So, one more time for the people in the back: Diagnosis is a tool, NOT an identity.
