British Psychological Society casts doubt on biomedical model of mental illness

[aphar]

There is no scientific evidence that psychiatric diagnoses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are valid or useful ...
the British Psychological Society's division of clinical psychology (DCP) ... casts doubt on psychiatry's predominantly biomedical model of mental distress – the idea that people are suffering from illnesses that are treatable by doctors using drugs.

Finally someone is questioning the "treat an itch with an amputation" approach!

как насчёт постановки диагноза судом присяжных, с адвокатом, обязаность которого - доказывать, что пациент здоров?
Я повторяю: на кону мозг и гражданские права человека!
