Is diagnosis just about labels and categories, or can it be something more human? In this Uni Bites episode, we explore Nancy McWilliams’ dimensional approach to diagnosis — a way of understanding mental health that goes beyond rigid checklists.
We’ll break down the difference between categorical vs. dimensional models, why McWilliams sees diagnosis as both helpful and risky, and how her focus on personality structure brings nuance to understanding people. Whether you’re studying psych or just curious about mental health, this episode shows why diagnosis can be a starting point, not an endpoint.
