All of the mental illnesses outlined in the diagnostic guide for psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), are inventions. Said differently, there is no biological evidence for any one of the disorders outlined in the DSM. There is no blood test, mouth swab, hair sample, biopsy, spinal tap, x-ray, brain-imaging, nor any other sort of “We’ll have to send this off to the lab,” way to diagnose or confirm psychiatric diseases. Zero. The contents of the DSM are constructed by committees of professionals, most with financial ties to the psychopharmaceutical industry, and then voted upon.
Nov. 4 2015 - My whole career I witnessed the phenomena of 10 Psychiatrists in a room at Grand Rounds and after the presentation all in disagreement with each other as "to the Dx". It was obvious then that its was simply an ego match between them. Became so ludicrous eventually using Dx were thought to be entirely useless and was dropped as being significant in treating the person except for billing purposes.
