hey :-)
i wonder if the identity confusion preceeds the initial dx or whether the dx results in identity confusion. (that could be about the harms of dx). then people manage to find some peace with their dx (by meeting people they get along with online) then... their dx is taken away and they have identity confusion once more. maybe identity confusion can be something of a looping kind.

one of them talked about schizophrenia. Janet Frame was the example. How she felt when they told her that she had never been schizophrenic.

Sure. Categorisation isn't inherently bad. What I'm trying to capture with the notion of 'judgement' is the notion of a value judgement or a normative judgement.
I was thinking about that more with respect to the ICD criteria I posted.
