 Borderline: modern name-calling


 How is it possible that some people-mostly women-suffer from mood disorders and they are labeled borderline.?
   It is disturbing that at a time when we're debating whether football teams should change their names to avoid  racial stereotyping we stigmatize and downgrade people with imperfect brains.
  Equally troublesome has been our collective silence- the silence of the healers-  for we make a living off of people we insult.

    It is time to trash DSM five for promoting discriminatory attitudes  or demand that scientific terms and not name-calling should define psychiatric diagnosis.
