Before trying to call someone out, you might try to get a bit of background and a clue yourself.

There really is more to diagnosis and treatment than treating symtoms and trial and error. If you were more interested in trends in diagnosis and treatment in the field of psychiatry then you would know this. You spoke of your credentials and background. But there are lots of people with advanced degrees in the sciences who aren't interested in much of the field they studied during years in college and beyond. I know you aren't working with colleagues to treat and diagnose along contemporary trends. I know because you want to stick with the mainstream methods. I believe that in a research setting, patients are likely to have different options. Different options then in the setting where the doctor is not interested in research. All I hope for is to hear from doctors, patients, and other behavioral health who know about trends in diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders -- not just sticking with what many people could guess. We are talking about a specialized field of science. Not all those who practice do so in the same way. It depends on what areas they have interests in.
