What does a diagnostic label describe?
What will be an ideal response?
When a diagnosis is given, an attempt is being made to classify the current behavioral pattern and level of functioning that is observed. Diagnosis of a psychiatric condition is made based on the information that is obtained during the assessment process, thus a label serves to summarize what has been observed. Diagnostic labels do not describe people or underlying pathological conditions, as is often presumed.
