New Study Confirms No Blood Tests for Any Mental Disorder in Psychiatry's Billing Bible of Mental "Disorders" -- Diagnoses Pharmaceutically Driven
University of Massachusetts psychologist Lisa Cosgrove, lead author of new study finds "No blood tests" for mental disorders and more than half of 170 "experts" who developed psychiatric diagnoses criteria had ties to pharmaceutical companies.
"Every psychiatric expert involved in writing the DSM standard diagnostic criteria for disorders such as depression
and schizophrenia has had financial ties to drug companies that sell medications for those illnesses." - Washington Post April 20, 2006
"No blood tests exist for the disorders in the DSM. It relies on judgments from practitioners who rely on the manual." - USA Today April 20, 2006
"In recent years, critics have said that the manual has become too expansive, including diagnoses, like social phobia, that they say appear tailor-made to create a market for antidepressants or other drugs." - New York Times April 20, 2006
