Yes. I'm not saying Catfish is right to dismiss mental illnesses as being invalid, but I AM saying he is right at least in that there is no way to biologically test for mental illness. There are other means of doing it, of course. Brain scans, for example, but technically, that's not a biological test, it's a mechanical one.

Part of being a freethinker means admitting when you are wrong. I thought there were biological tests for mental illness. I was wrong, so I'm admitting it.
