The Problem with Distress: Why Patients Deserve Diagnosis Before Intervention

By: Coyle, Tracy C.

The purpose of this work is not to reverse that moral progress. It is to restore a discipline that compassion alone cannot replace. Distress is real. It deserves care. But distress is not self-interpreting. It does not tell us what is happening in the person who feels it.

This work argues for something deceptively simple: that patients-especially developing ones-deserve diagnosis before intervention. That they deserve to be understood as individuals rather than processed as categories.
