The perpetrators are, of course, feeding at the public trough.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Dr. Thomas Dorman, internist and member of the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I believe, until the public and psychiatry itself see that DSM labels are not only useless as medical \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcdiagnoses\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 but also have the potential to do great harm\u00e2\u20ac\u201dparticularly when they are used as means to deny individual freedoms, or as weapons by psychiatrists acting as hired guns for the legal system.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Dr. Sydney Walker III, psychiatrist<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The way things get into the DSM is not based on blood test or brain scan or physical findings.

And that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what the whole psychiatry system is.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Dr. Colin Ross, Psychiatrist<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no biological imbalance. When people come to me and they say, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcI have a biochemical imbalance,\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 I say, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcShow me your lab tests.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 There are no lab tests.
