I think that there are increased pressures on teenagers today and this combined with increased awareness of problems may give increase to the problem. I.e. how many teenage self injurers knew nothing about self injury prior to harming themselves for the first time.
Would you agree that Health Care Professionals may “label” people, in order to make “Abnormalities” more acceptable?
Yes _____________ No
If you answered yes, do you think you may have received such a label? Explain.
I dont think I have ever been falsely labelled but I do think that the diagnostic criteria of some illnesses means that people are labeled for things that 50 + years back would have been normal. Looking at the history of the DSM and seeing the roots of some of these illnesses i.e. Kleptomania gives backing to this. It is still happening today with P.M.S apparantly appearing in the next DSM.
However I do believe that mental illness exists and whilst some diagnosistic labels are questionable others are realistic complaints.

I don't think it's that calculated, but I do think that a lot of health care professionals tend to label people just cause they don't really know what they're doing or think they have to give them a diagnosis to provide any treatment (or because they do have to for the client's insurance to cover it, which is a different issue but with the same effect). I think that most (all?) mental illnesses are the extreme end of a continuum of behaviors that at the other end or normal, and the idea of having an all-or-nothing cut-off may be necessary for research and for allocation of services, but it's still fundamentally arbitrary and makes the whole idea of saying someone either has a disorder or they don't inherently problematic.

I have heard and read too many stories about teens with mental health issues going back years to believe it has actually gotten worse. I just think we know more about it now and are more open about things(sometimes) so are therefore more aware that teens are suffering. I still remember telling someone I thought I was depressed and being told I was being silly because kids that young don't have problems like that.
