I have to agree with you are far as how it is practiced in a clinical setting today. I have been very lucky in my interaction with psychology and psychiatry and the care I have received. It has always been patient centered fairly holistic and not focused and hung up on a label.
Labels, definitions, and descriptions are necessary in any field. It's just that it is us guini pigs getting labeled. I have always known I was a guini pig when it came to meds. 6 to 8 weeks clinical trials don't tell you much. They use buspar because they don't want to use benzo's even though it is useless.
