Six Misdiagnoses
- Sarah Fay was diagnosed with six different mental health disorders starting at age 12.
- These included anorexia, anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and bipolar disorder.
DSM's Lack of Scientific Basis
- The DSM, used for mental health diagnoses, is based on opinions, not scientific evidence.
- Diagnoses are not based on objective markers like blood tests or scans, unlike physical illnesses.
Question Diagnoses
- Understand that DSM diagnoses lack scientific validity and are based on subjective symptoms and clinician opinions.
- Get a second opinion from a mental health professional, especially if diagnosed by a GP.
