But can a diagnosis do us more harm than good?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe boundaries between sickness and health are being redrawn. Mental health categories are shifting and expanding all the time, radically altering what we consider to be 'normal'. Genetic tests can now detect pathologies decades before people experience symptoms, and sometimes before they're even born. Increased health screening tends to draw more and more people into believing they are unwell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn accurate diagnosis can bring greater understanding and, of course, improved treatment.
