Thanks. I don't really see that we know enough about the human brain and how it works to give really accurate labels for diseases and malfunctions that affect it. The progress in the science of the brain seems incredibly slow IMHO. A lot of it also seems to relate to politics and funding of research and the like. The History of Psychology is full of events where science takes a back seat to prejudice, politics, and ignorance.
