  • What the battle over DSM-5 should make clear to all of us—professional and layman alike—is that psychiatric diagnosis will probably always be laden with uncertainty, that the labels doctors give us for our suffering will forever be at least as much the product of negotiations around a conference table as investigations at a lab bench

shared by Maxime Lagacé on 05 Mar 10 - Cached
  • The implication for personal habits and habit change is clear: Others get used to our habits.
  • What this means for habit change: When you start to change one of your habits, it will be disturbing to those around you. After all, they've come to expect certain behaviors from you and now they can no longer expect them. That will be upsetting to people who are close to you, even if they are expressing their support.
  • Your attempt to change a habit means that others will need to work at their lives too.

    To change ourselves, we must change our habits AND peoples' expectations about our habits.
