Neurodivergence or Star Bellied Sneetches?

"The dictionary definitions of "normal" are all entirely beguilingly tautological. To know what is normal you have to know what is abnormal. And guess how "abnormal" is defined in the dictionaries - those things that are not normal or regular or natural or typical or usual or conforming to a norm. Talk about circular tail chasing - each term is defined exclusively as the negative of the other; there is no real definition of either, and no meaningful definitional line between them." - Saving Normal: An insider's revolt against out-of-control psychiatric diagnosis, DSM - 5, Big Pharma, and the medicalization of ordinary life. Allen Frances, M.D. Chair of the DSM-IV Task Force. With the DSM 5 drastically loosening diagnostic boundaries, diagnostic inflation is in full swing. While reducing stigma around mental health and seeking care for distress is positive, we find ourselves in an culture where not only does almost everyone have a diagnosis, but having a diagnosis seems to be "in vogue". Elizabeth Beckmann DMFT and Andrea Hanson LCMHC discuss this phenomenon in comparison with Dr. Seuss's Star Bellied Sneetches and share the downsides of this cultural phenomenon from a clinical and personal perspective.Learn more about Andrea on YT, TikTok, Insta, FB, and LinkedIn: @andreahansonpsychLearn more about Elizabeth on TikTok; @dr.e.dmft
