  • There are no objective tests in psychiatry-no X-ray, laboratory, or exam finding that says definitively that someone does or does not have a mental disorder.

  • Psychiatric diagnosis still relies exclusively on fallible subjective judgments rather than objective biological tests.

  • Mental disorders don't really live 'out there' waiting to be explained. They are constructs we have made up - and often not very compelling ones.
