Personal relationships with deities

[Ravenshire]

The diagnosis of anyone practicing any type of medicine will be based on the science done in their field, not their opinions or personal views. Or, they shouldn't be practicing at all.

the mind cannot be put into a petri dish and studied like doctors can study a virus , diagnosis is based not on science but on interpretation of symptoms and what the psych thinks the problem is just as many will disagree with him as those who agree .

What we have for psychology is nearly a century of pretty much consistent diagnosis styles that have helped us categorise many different types of mental illness and have allowed us to treat, quite successfully, though, of course not 100%.

The thing about psychology, like medicine, and like science as a whole, is that we're learning more every time.

but unlike medicine or science , theories involving the mind will continue to be debated - agreed by some and disagreed by just as many each and every new theory that someone invents , its no more scientific than religion is .

You act like no doctor has ever misdiagnosed cancer, heart disease, etc...

That's what second opinions are for.

Or, you can just go ahead with your theory bullshit idea that a doctor who is predisposed to a particular idea (religious psychiatrist) is better able to provide an unbiased diagnosis.
