It isn't.
Where is that chemical analysis and structural analysis in mental disorders then? because they are not used at all in the DSM and ICD. They're not even used!
Btw:
Degrees are just papers that declare someone as knowledgable. Several psuedoscientific fields have degrees. A degree doesn't make one knowledgable; learning does.
Also, Psychiatry is still founded on dogma, so it doesn't even matter what they are teaching. Psychiatry is still a psuedoscience.
I don't think Psychiatry, a field that regularly ignores socioeconomic factors, is "holistic".
I'm not confusing them. I'm specifically referring to Psychiatry; I'm not focused on Psychology.
I read them. The mental disorders in them literally require no objective analysis to be "diagnosed".^[Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fith Edition]^[ICD-11, Mental Disorder Browser (can't find the full PDF), will edit the link to it later.]
Experience is just another method of gaining knowledge; but it does not make arguments any more correct. Science demands that all persons be able to test an explanation; a field suppressing critics does not make it scientific.
Here's a good summary: https://leddit.xyz/r/Antipsychiatry/comments/hkpump/psychiatry_is_a_deeply_flawed_pseudoscience/
Thanks for clearing up that you don't understand science, generally. Have a great one!
How do I not understand science?
