Well there are a lot of serious problems in psychiatry. Someone's gotta get mad about it. If psychiatrists are going to go around telling their patients that severe depression "causes changes in their brains" they damn well better start getting some real medical tests made available. Diagnosis sucks in psychiatry...cause there arent any medical tests. These are brain diseases we are dealing with. We need some good objective type medical tests. Psychiatry needs to be brought into line with the rest of medicine. The rest of medicine relies heavily upon various medical tests. Psychiatry has nothing. Thats why people get misdiagnosed so often in this field.Subjective psychology tests, developed by psychologists doesnt cut it.
