Meilleure citation de DSM-5-TR Mastery: Spectrum Approach to Diagnosis

Instead of asking 'Are you mentally ill?' the framework asks 'Where do you fall on the fundamental dimensions of human experience?' It's about understanding that these aren't alien pathologies—they're human experiences taken to challenging extremes.
