Additionally, these diagnoses completely ignore the role of trauma or other unique adverse events a person may encounter in their life.

Bull, this is always factored in. Are we arguing that someone diagnosed with PTSD isn't affected by their previous experiences in life?

Well, that is exactly true. Many of the people treating others for mental problems either have or will develop mental problems themselves. Psychological evaluations are just an inch above palm reading. You can't base any credible decision on them.

Psychiatry has value in the latter; less so for “treatment” without using drugs to pacify the client or “patient”.
