How many people are walking around right now with diagnoses for ADHD, depression, anxiety or other similar conditions that are unnecessary and useless – with dodgy diagnoses?
Psychology, meditation and self-observation for deeper self-knowledge, every Wednesday
In part 1 of The Diagnosis Obsession, we explore why the health systems runs on diagnoses, why this biases how we understand health, and why ordinary health-system realities reveal this obvious problem.
In part 2, we explore why diagnoses are a heuristic, why our state is primary and our diagnosis secondary, and some do’s and don’ts when it comes to diagnosis.
