I think psychology is vastly different then your everyday physician that treats things like colds and flu. These things can be seen under a microscope. Psychology involves diving into someones head and soul. Surely it isnt an exact science and surely it isnt a simple one. I think its one of those areas that will constantly evolve and shift.
To be honest with you I think the sufferers understand it more than the doctors do. I also think that a DXed mental illness shouldnt be concrete because I think it changes or can even dissappear depending on the person and circumstances. I mean 4 years ago I only dealt with a panic disorder and anxiety attacks, 2 years later I land in the hospital with major depression with psychosis......the brain is complicated....
