Name: Philip Morgan on Dec 16, 2010Comments: As someone who has been sexually abused, leading to horrific emotional distress, I think this label is grossly inappropriate to describe a survivor's experience, and the censorship of our experiences by the "helping" profession by slapping a label on us in many cases leads to an increase in Post-Trauma, or more correctly, trauma symptoms. Start calling folk survivors instead of schizo-watsos. And as for the scientists who come up with these labels, start thinking critically about what you're doing, that's what science is about, not exponentially increasing each new Diagnostic "Bible", so Big Pharma can put more of society on nirvana pills.Flag

Name: Tarun Verma on Apr 28, 2012Comments: When the psychotic experiences can be understood cognitively and empathically, then why shall one label such experiences as diseased. Label induces chronic deficits through stigma and hence makes such experiences as incurable. There must be some better way to talk about psychotic experiences like in a spectrum along a continuum to mark the level of intensity, rather than the strict label of a 'disease'. As a disease it is treated as a pathological state, while as a spectrum it can be treated as a state varying along different intensities. There should be no 'all-or-none' concept here.Flag
