The Psychology of Anxiety
I just think of myself as like a human being who experiences anxiety and that just the linguistics of that for me has made a huge difference. People are now more and more of the last kind of however long maybe decade realizing the anxiety something experience and then go through large periods maybe the rest of your life without having panic attacks. I think labels can be very important purely for ensuring people get the right treatment so for example when I panic attacks I was told I was depressed I wasn't depressed I was presenting as without hope because the panic was so bad but it was really important for me to realize this was anxiety in order to get anxiety treatmentSo I think there is utility in labels from that sense
