@bluetechgirl @violet @socalledunitedstates I agree. No one should ever shame or judge others. All experiences & feelings are valid.

Yet, there is no substitute for professional expertise. Without that, the risk of misdiagnosis is high. Incorrect diagnosis could lead to poor outcomes & quality of life, inability to get appropriate treatment, harm & suffering to patients.

Still, it's not for others to judge or tell people their experiences are invalid.
