The main findings of the research were: 1. Psychiatric diagnoses all use different decision-making rules 2. There is a huge amount of overlap in symptoms between diagnoses 3. Almost all diagnoses mask the role of trauma and adverse events 4. Diagnoses tell us little about the individual patient and what treatment they need. The authors conclude that diagnostic labelling represents 'a disingenuous categorical system'.A good replacement:
Professor John Read, University of East London, said: "Perhaps it is time we stopped pretending that medical-sounding labels contribute anything to our understanding of the complex causes of human distress or of what kind of help we need when distressed."The causes of human distress, and the kind of help we need when distressed. Concise and accurate. This article doesn't mention the change from useless to MONSTROUS in the last 20 years. Now the DSM primarily serves as a tool for detecting and drugging and destroying dissidents. Unfashionable beliefs are OFFICIAL DISEASES. This is lethally important because Freudian psychiatry has OFFICIAL STANDING. When courts want to determine the "sanity" of a criminal or a dissident, Freudians make the OFFICIAL decision. There is only one validly diagnosable psychiatric disorder: Psychiatry.
