Lori Harder argues that broad mental-health diagnoses like bipolar or ADHD are too vague to actually heal. She proposes brain pattern mapping instead, which pinpoints exactly where you are mentally, like getting longitude and latitude instead of just being told you're somewhere in a country.

A lot of what we're seeing unfold in the mental health space are these very broad labels. You have bipolar, or you have borderline personality disorder, or you're adhd. Adhd, Right. Like these super broad labels. That would be like me telling you you're in Russia. Okay, here's healing. It's somewhere over here. We're not really sure where it is. We don't even know if we really believe that healing is possible anymore. So you're just gonna have to cope with the fact that you live in the country of Russia somewhere. And if we're vaguely saying we don't even know that healing really exists, it's somewhere over. You don't know where you are in that country. How are you ever going to navigate to that place? The way brain pattern mapping does it is it tells you your precise longitude and latitude so you know exactly where you are. You're not in some broad country. You're exactly right here. And you can see this is exactly the place of healing. So you know how many clicks you have to go to be able to bring yourself back into true regulation and balance. Mental health is not an art form. It's math. And if you have the right coordinates, you can come home to yourself.
