What is incorrect in this reference? You have not proposed any counterarguments. Also if you need just more fresh data - how do you propose to interpret the result of the Rosenhan's experiment?

  That lying about your symptoms to doctors leads to incorrect diagnoses?

    They are _not_ doctors in terms of evidence-based medicine, just policemen without a token. The problem is obviously not about incorrect diagnosis, I can lie to any doctor about any symptoms and just go home with zero obstructions from feds.

      As someone who was formerly in a mental ward for acute crisis, I would say that at least the 72 hour hold was an essential and necessary part of my treatment. I don't think that staying at home with unprepared family members for the acute period would have worked out, and I don't even have a problematic home environment! The flip side of the coin is that I was in a really high quality hospital, I'm sure there are hospitals or facilities that can be more harmful rather than helpful. I also have a problem with the way that they treat mental health like cancer, that once you have a diagnosis you will always have it. There are zero diagnostic criteria for "fully recovered" or removing dependence on medication, even after 5 or 10 years. It's also treated like a scarlet letter for insurance and unrelated things like TSA pre check - no matter how well you are doing you are still some level of risk to yourself and society. Though I could be wrong... the reoccurrence chart over time for my specific acute mania (with no depressive episodes) does look a lot like cancer remission charts with asymptotic approach to 80%+ reoccurrence after 2-4 years.

  Dont put people inside mental asylums when they are not ill?

    There is no evidence of existing at least one defined illness in psy* fields. For example, let me tell you that a person X fell ill with schizophrenia. What do you know about X or X's brain?

      Most psychologists would be much more interested in person X's behavior, rather than their brain.

        And believe in such false statement as a free will? So what is a part of organism (if not brain) which might be possible for psy* specialist to heal, is it an arm or a leg or a spine?
