Mental disorders should not be hastily defined | Mary O'Hara | Society | The Guardian
Quote: "When it comes to mental health, the diagnostic labels matters far beyond their clinical applications. A diagnosis all too quickly becomes a label by which an individual is defined and judged, which in turn becomes a catalyst for stigma and discrimination. There is evidence from the campaign, Time to Change, and others, that, even while there are some signs of a reduction, stigma and discrimination around mental illness are devilishly entrenched – with sometimes devastating consequences for those on the receiving end."
