what are the dangers of labeling those around you with a psychological disorder?
this is what i have so far just need a couple more points
@Vocaloid
good start off the top of my head - most people don't have the credentials to actually diagnose someone properly so they just end up labelling with a psychological disorder that doesn't really apply to them (for example, someone who likes to keep things neat doesn't necessarily have OCD). casually tossing terms like this around makes it harder for people who really do have these disorders to be taken seriously
- can spread misinformation (for example, calling someone who is kind of skinny "anorexic" even though anorexia is a mental disorder, not a description for somebody's body type
that's all I can really think of to add
