The basic message is this: everyone in the mental health profession knows full well that the DSM is a work of fiction—that the hundreds of ‘disorders’ described therein are just labels for fuzzy, overlapping clusters of symptoms and that we have never found a definitive biological marker for even one of those disorders. Mental health professionals pretend that the disorders are real, but they’re not, period.”
