Am I in a minority in thoroughly disliking 'Discharge Against Medical Advice' forms, that thry make people sign? Feels punitive. They also seem to lead to pts being treated as pariahs.
Surely in this day and age it is a 'Shared Decision and Understanding of Risks' agreement?

Dear discharging A&E doctor: please don’t ever send me a copy of your letter in which you utilise the stigmatising term “acopia” .
You didn’t stop there; oh no you even provided the definition in brackets.🤦🏽‍♂️
My patients and families do the v best they can dealing with complexity

Different diagnostic methods serve different goals:

Categorical systems (DSM) are essential in clinical work bec highlight crucial differential diagnoses.

Simple dimensional systems (eg RDoC) are for research.

Complex dimensional systems will be good for AI, not clinicians.

Very pleased that our paper (with Awais Aftab, Allen Frances, and Konrad Banicki) titled 'Psychiatric Diagnosis: A Clinical Guide to Navigating Diagnostic Pluralism' has been accepted by the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease.

Imagine being so ideologically invested in the anti-psychiatry movement that you rally against anti-stigma campaigns for people who experience mental illness.
