See I'm not putting any one's opinion down here okay. No one.

I'm just sayin' 1) there are multiple ways the term "crazy" is used from sayin' to a friend, "Aw don't act so crazy." to calling the fella walking around in the park talking to him/herself crazy. 2) in my opinion the DSM is a pile of useless crap. No doctor ever developed a treatment plan using the dsm. It's used mainly to fill out forms for insurance companies, hospitals, etc. When I rx'ed meds I did it by symptom, not diagnosis. 3) getting a diagnosis in itself can be extremely stigmatizing. Get a label of Bipolar Mood Disorder well controlled with say Li, and put that on a job app. and see what happens as apposed to a type I diabetic who controls the diabetes with oral meds, food and exercise. You can kiss your career goodbye.
