Psychiatry prove the existence of time-machine.

The labels themselves are based on subjective opinion and are often used as judgements of disdain so I'd personally agree that it's often better not to give someone a label to go by.

It honestly sounds like a good approach because there are people who use their diagnosis as an excuse for their bad behavior.

yes, it is a good approach.
It happened to me because I once met a weird guy that, after dealing with psychologists and the suicide of an ex-partner, started labeling everything in psychological terms. So he introduced me to this wonderful world of psychological patterns, as he defined himself as co-dependent and his partner as dependent.
Playing the role of a psychologist, he started dissecting my behaviors and diagnosing me. So I got convinced that I needed to go to a psychologist, which in the end refused to put a label on me.
Otherwise today I would be saying that i'm bipolar, or something else.

My life got much better once I discovered I was actually bipolar and learned to identify and deal with the patterns. Of course, it did not become perfect, otherwise I would not be here. That's just my case, and it is not in any way universal, but so isn't yours.

I've heard psychologists

We are talking about psychiatrists here. Very different things, both in the way they diagnose and in the way they deal with such diagnosis.

Otherwise today I would be saying that i'm bipolar, or something else.

You'd be saying you are something based on a diagnosis given by someone who wasn't even qualified to diagnose you?

Have you tried genesight or genomind?

It's not as common in UK. I have looked at it, but do you think it's worth the dosh?

No, luckily no one used any word to define my patterns. I've only been wondering for a while, bipolar, borderline, or something else. But in the end everyone of us, in different circumstances of their life, develops some partial traits of these personalities. Clearly some cases might be more evident than others

I've heard psychologists refusing to giving a name to the diagnosis of patients, as they believe that the name will be stuck on them and they will use that label to evaluate or justify everything they do.

My psychiatrist gave me a diagnosis, but later changed it without telling me. I think he may (?) have done this for this reason. I guess it was moreso trying to not get caught up in technicalities. Idk but I think it's important to know your diagnosis so you know the path of treatment.
