How does the DSM relate to the idea of self-fulfilling prophecies??

What will be an ideal response?

ANSWER:
?Critics of the DSM model also point out the possible negative effects of labeling someone with a mental health disorder (Baumann, 2007; Grover, 2005). A diagnostic label may serve as a self-fulfilling prophecy, encouraging a person to behave in a way that is consistent with the disorder. Others in the person’s environment may also treat the person in a way that encourages the symptoms of the disorder. We as a society tend to treat people with any diagnostic label negatively, perhaps increasing their maladaptive functioning through prejudice and discrimination. Such negative treatment may persist even after the person’s behavior returns to normal (Rosenhan, 1973; Szasz, 1987)
