Did You Know Your Diagnosis Is Bullshit a how to guide to diagnosing with kindness

An Unvarnished Book (what's in it for you . . . ?)

A Few Words From a "Still Becoming Human" Author

Based on this book's title, I imagine, many professionals will pass on it. When I think about them doing this, I feel surprised by my near-total lack of concern. I've purposely chosen this title in hopes I'll pique the interests of people who value being human more than being professional. No coincidence, this includes me and my many colleagues, most of whom have spent whole lives helping people.

Know I count among my colleagues warm-hearted grandmas and new mothers, many of whom function as the family diagnostician. If any of this fits you, then you are definitely in the right place-especially if you've wanted to call "bullshit" on the things many so-called professionals claim to know about you and those you love. I know I have.

In truth, if you've made it this far, I'm quite sure you've felt this way many times. Please (mad author shouting to the heavens), how about some chicken soup for the soul, rather than more chicken shit for the mind. This said, I would not expect you to read much further without me giving you the five-cent tour. What will this book do for you? What's in it for your patients?

This is what I'm about to tell you.

Everyone Diagnoses-Some of Us Do It Professionally

Let's begin with this book's main point-that almost everyone alive diagnoses. Sadly, despite the word "manual" in the titles of existing diagnostic manuals, as of today, we have had no manual to guide us. Until now. This book is a no-bullshit book about diagnosis.
