"@Macbeth4183781 @DrHannahBelcher Even the DSM-5 task force chair Dr. Allen Frances has admitted that psychiatric diagnoses lack the biological and scientific validity found in other areas of medicine. Disorders are based on consensus rather than clear underlying causes"

"@Macbeth4183781 @DrHannahBelcher Would be willing to look at studies that highlight validity of diagnosis in psychiatry but havent got too far with that"

"@Macbeth4183781 @DrHannahBelcher Adding cultural notes doesnt fix the fundamental criticism that DSM categories lack scientific validity and dont map onto discrete illnesses cultural sensitivity cant correct flawed categories"

"@Macbeth4183781 @DrHannahBelcher Yes some physical conditions lack complete understanding but they are anchored by objective markers or tests. Psychiatric diagnoses built largely on subjective symptom clusters lack this empirical grounding which makes their validity more questionable"

"@Macbeth4183781 @DrHannahBelcher Transcultural psychiatry may acknowledge cultural factors but it still applies Western diagnostic frameworks that pathologise distress through the DSM lens. Adding cultural notes doesnt fix the lack of validity in the categories themselves imo"

"@Macbeth4183781 @DrHannahBelcher It sounds like youre defending studies that prove treatment effects not the validity of the diagnoses themselves. Two very different questions. If the research you refer to cant directly demonstrate objective diagnostic validity then it doesnt address the core issue"

"@Macbeth4183781 @DrHannahBelcher Explaining the core evidence behind diagnostic validity shouldnt require years of study. Strong science can be communicated clearly. If it takes a decade to justify the basics that suggests the evidence might not be as solid as claimed"

"@Macbeth4183781 @DrHannahBelcher Methodological validity doesnt stop psychiatry from overdiagnosing by pathologizing natural feelings like grief or anxiety. Research framing can take sides without being obvious about it"

"@Macbeth4183781 @DrHannahBelcher Studies may show some people respond to interventions but that doesnt prove the diagnoses themselves are valid diseases. Treatment efficacy and diagnostic validity are separate issues. Psychiatry often assumes one implies the other but the science doesnt confirm that link"
