Psychiatric Diagnosis is a Fraud: The Destructive and Damaging Fiction of Biological ‘Diseases’ www.madinamerica.com/2016/04/psychiatric-diagnosis-is-a-fraud-the-destructive-and-damaging-fiction-of-biological-diseases/"Everywhere you turn, you see “OCD, ASD, MDD, ADD, ADHD, BPD, GAD, PD, SAD, PTSD, NPD,” etc. The problem is not limited to this acronym soup, but the pseudo diagnoses they represent. Patients today get stained by the specious medical diagnoses of biological psychiatry. And furthermore they are brainwashed to believe that these fictitious brain ‘diseases’ are genetic. Biological psychiatry treats people like they are mechanical objects, renaming them almost as they are re-branding products. The one I like the best is the renaming of ‘manic-depressive’ to ‘bipolar.’ Instead of a name which accurately describes the states of suffering, it was turned into something mechanical — a battery with two poles. We’ve gone from something human to something Frankensteinian. But fear not; we have psychoactive drugs that will correct the imbalance in your genetically damaged brain. We have antidepressants for your depression; Benzodiazepines for your anxiety, amphetamines for your ADHD, anti-psychotics for schizophrenia, antidepressants for your OCD, etc."

I literally had a conversation yesterday with a woman who said she knew psychiatrists who delivered psychotherapy. I have never come across it. Sad..

One of the wisest things I've come across in relation to psychiatric diagnosis is that in the end a diagnosis is only a label linked to a collection of symptoms. It does not tell the story of what happened to you, or affect who you are - it's just a medical shorthand, a convenient fiction which can change and does change according to more symptoms manifesting themselves. It's not something one should take too seriously, or let it define you.
Which also at the same time exposes the fraud of psychiatric diagnosis. They are using medication to treat symptoms, not underlying causes. It's like a doctor asking you, does your leg hurt? And then when you say yes, prescribing painkillers without finding out if the cause is a bruise or a torn ligament. Psychiatry is still quite a young discipline, and since the advent of medications it has gone from something where a psychiatrist might work in a large institution and see patients many times over the course of months, to a situation where ten minute appointments every three months are quite normal.
Furthermore, the whole idea of "chemical imbalances in the brain" which many psychiatrists still use to justify their medications has long since been discredited. They really need to come up with a better excuse, or go back to giving people cold baths.
