Summary Introduction

Concept introduction:

It is common for most in the general population to confuse one diagnosis with another. While it may be harmless in cases such as the aforementioned statement, in other instances, this misunderstanding can fuel stigmatization of mental health issues precisely because they are not fully understood. And in cases where professionals may misdiagnose, the consequences can be dire for both the therapist and client alike. This is why it is important to distinguish one disorder from another.
