Like I said, I doubted I could convince you of anything.

In health and social science definitions are temporary things. You construct them, put them to use, then deconstruct them. They aren't permanently formed as in other sciences.

You've referred to mental health yourself, so you have had some exposure to the concepts that have been developed in this way. They weren't developed by people cooking up definitions and sharing them with the world. They were developed by people and institutions willing to grapple with the unknown and uncertainty, to step away from the objectivity of the previous century that gave us lobotomies and electrocuted genitals.
