Summary

How many people are walking around right now with diagnoses for ADHD, depression, anxiety or other similar conditions that are unnecessary and useless - with dodgy diagnoses? In part 2 of The Diagnosis Obsession, we explore why diagnoses are a heuristic, why our state is primary and our diagnosis is secondary, and some do's and don'ts when it comes to diagnoses.
