    What You Probably Don’t Know About: Diagnosis

    What You Probably Don’t Know About: Diagnosis

    Diagnosis! What it means, how it came to be, how it is used for good and for ill. Today I talk with trauma reseracher Mary Catherine McDonald, PHD, about the DSM—the veritable bible of mental health—and the sheer subjectivity with which it was conceived, written and wielded by doctors and insurance companies alike.
    We also discuss the wonderful madness of Robin Williams, how to rebuke terrible questions and what we think of people who like to tell other people who they are.
