I still think from the last newsletter about MPD being a cultural phenomenon and how it can be real or not. Some disorders do be sus, I haven't read the DSM 5 but hv seen the index.
It is also mind-blowing to think is it not that the only reason we don't consider some disorders to be 'real' is because they were not voted favourably by a council. How much about psychology then is a result of consensus over evidence?
As a psychology student and someone diagnosed with BPD, it was very informative and cleared my confusion. I never understood the meaning of psychotic in this context before. Amazing article :)
Something that I often thought about too, that the council has power to decide what is a disorder or not. Recently was reading about developmental trauma and how it was denied a place in DSM despite effort of Bessel and Co from the book and made me question few things and criteria for diagnosis.
