Yes, I read the whole article.

What I read is that psychiatry is a word game, with the "winner" determined by the subjective opinion of the doctor who sits in the Alex Trebesch seat.

But then, I hear voices and see faces sometimes, so I can be discounted. Which is better than being burnt at the stake, I suppose.

Is it your opinion that psychiatry is basically a poor field or "scam".

And no I'm not being insulting or making a Tom Cruise referance.

I'm glad you read the whole story. If you want, I'll get the first two parts of the story. I put misdiagnosis in the keyword section for a reason.

Schizophrenia, major depression, aka depression and major depressive disorder, and manic depression, aka bipolar disorder, are the big three diagnoses in Psychiatry with the potential to do harm to themselves or someone else. Their medical treatment is totally from each other. The point of the story was cultural awareness enabled the misdiagnosis to be corrected.
