Answer to Question 1

Multiple possible answers:
1. There is a loss of information when a classification scheme is applied to behavior, as
will happen when any single word is used to convey something as complex as a mental
disorder.
2. In addition, there may be some stigma attached to receiving a psychiatric diagnosis.
3. Stereotyping may occur, leading to incorrect assumptions about and expectations of an
individual who has received a psychiatric diagnosis.
