Episode 22: Diagnosis as a social construct

 

In this episode I speak to three guests with their own perspectives on how diagnosis relates to the social context we find ourselves in. Many people consider a diagnosis from a mental health professional as "true", but they have changed over time with some diagnoses being struck off the lists as no longer valid, and new ones being created or nuanced to give a better experience to those receiving them. The discussion intends to ask whether they're useful, if so how, and how much is this just society putting parameters on what it considers acceptable or not.
