'The diagnostic system was created by the military for the purpose of research. It was later adopted by the insurance industry as a method of coding "disorders" for their purposes. A diagnosis is not required to treat a mental health issue and many practitioners refuse to make diagnoses at all. Many clinicians believe that diagnosing puts an unnecessary label on the client telling them that they are "abnormal" instead of recognizing that whatever the client is doing is a coping mechanism which they developed to deal with life.'
