The Age Of Diagnosis by Suzanne O'Sullivan
How Our Obsession with Medical Labels Is Making Us Sicker
A neurologist examines how the modern drive to label conditions—fueled by genetic testing, online information, and patient‑led categories like Long Covid—can both help and harm patients. Using case histories and clinical insight, she explores when a diagnosis brings clarity and treatment, and when labels may mislead, stigmatize, or obscure suffering. The book argues for more careful, nuanced ways of understanding illness and supporting people in pain.
