6/🧵: You might have noticed that I have refrained from using diagnostic words in this thread I will continue to do so.

Medical diagnoses have their uses in medical contexts. Outside of it, categorization of humans into medical groups almost always does more harm than good. Categorical groups are strict and narrow and fail to capture the true variety and the true similarities of human beings.

It makes sense to decide how to treat you based on your diagnosis only if you are my patient.
