“I have found that giving a diagnostic label—though it can offer immediate relief as a succinct interpretation of a fairly messy circumstance—can soon become a straitjacket of sorts, narrowly defining people and profoundly shaping their life narratives. Patients sometimes begin to conform their stories toward a diagnosis, making themselves smaller as opposed to opening to the more expansive lives they could be leading.”
