==Description==
A '''label''' is a piece of [[paper]], polymer, cloth, metal, or other [[material]] affixed to a container or article, on which is printed a legend, [[information]] concerning the product, addresses, etc. A label may also be printed directly on the container or article.
Labels have many uses: product identification, name tags, advertising, [[warnings]], and other [[communication]]. Special types of labels called digital labels (printed through a digital printing) can also have special constructions such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RFID RFID] tags, security printing, and sandwich process labels.
A range of developmental disorders that initially occur in childhood that when continuing into adulthood, may be diagnosed as [[antisocial]] personality disorder. Such labels are often adopted by popular usage such as psychopath (or sociopath) even though these do not appear in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnostic_and_Statistical_Manual_of_Mental_Disorders DSM].
It is also the case that, while often being characterized in purely [[negative]] terms, some mental [[traits]] or states labeled as disorders can also involve above-average [[creativity]], non-conformity, goal-striving, meticulousness, or [[empathy]]. In addition, the public perception of disability associated with mental disorders can change.
Since the 1980s, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_Caplan Paula Caplan] has been concerned about the [[subjectivity]] of psychiatric [[diagnosis]], and people being arbitrarily “slapped with a psychiatric label”. Caplan says because psychiatric diagnosis is unregulated, doctors aren’t required to spend much time interviewing patients or to seek a second [[opinion]]. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnostic_and_Statistical_Manual_of_Mental_Disorders Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders] can lead a [[psychiatrist]] to focus on narrow checklists of [[symptoms]], with little consideration of what is actually causing the patient’s [[problems]]. So, according to Caplan, getting a psychiatric diagnosis and label often stands in the way of [[recovery]].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_disorder]
