Nah i agree social anxiety is another word for shyness. and crazy is a word for schizophrenia, fat is a word for obese. Most people have a basic understanding of mental illness; and we have words to describe it. This doesn't mean the average person understands the disorders as well as a psychologist would. We shouldn't write off all cultural understanding of the mind just because there is a more accurate scientific language available.
And relying on FDA approval for deciding what meds to take is at least as bad of an idea as taking APs.
