Symptoms lead to diagnosis. I think you know that.
TBI, abuse, drugs are a few examples that you are unable to distinguish between in your professional diagnosis, whilst you spend 15-30 mins with a patient every 6 months to believe you are an expert on their life.
I think you know that without proof you are basically just taking bets like an addicted gambler. As we have already seen in this thread you are good at making up things that aren't real and would probably quickly blame a person like Adam Lanza for mental illness... ignoring the problem that his family was probably abusing him.... just another cog in the wheel of white terrorists when you get it wrong and act by taking their life away whilst working with abusers.
So you have no way of proving a diagnosis other then it looks like mental illness. If doctors didn't have an x-ray machine how many broken bones are they going to diagnose and treat costing X trillion dollars of tax payers money in your example.
Can you even explain how the drugs(your gods) you force on those you believe are mentally ill work by a scientific standard or do you just want to leave it as magic that everyone believes without any form of proof?
And I'll ask you again... how many people have you murdered in your profession?
