In this episode of Brain Trash, hosts Maria Ingalla and Tabitha Arey take a brutally honest look at what psychiatric diagnosis actually means in 2025. From rushed 15-minute appointments to diagnosis codes written for insurance companies—not care—this episode unpacks the messy, outdated system we're all stuck in.

We dive into:

• How ICD-10 and DSM coding shapes your treatment
• The dangers of misdiagnosis (especially for neurodivergent folks)
• Why screeners don’t tell the full story
• The stigma and identity confusion that comes with labels
• What we really need from a modern diagnostic system

Whether you're a provider, patient, or someone navigating your own diagnosis, this one’s for you.
