Summary: Is it time to drop your diagnosis? In today's episode Dr. Jucy Johnstone joins us to discuss why the concept of psychiatric diagnosis is both invalid and unreliable, we weigh up the benefits and consequences of being labelled with a particular disorder, and ask whether or not it’s time to abolish psychiatric diagnosis altogether and replace it with an alternative approach.
