While I do agree that you can see some of the industry and view it as a huge problem, the "ambiguously defined mental illnesses" are easily explained to be a result of the fundamentally subjective nature of the field itself. We don't need "pharmaceutical industry" conspiracies to explain why things are going where they are going.

This pressure increases the pressure to make it so more of the population is defined as being mentally ill so they can get medical treatment.
