I think you may just be arguing over semantics at this point.By "authority", I mean the bulk of psychiatry, specifically those who think it is within their natural powers to impose labels on a person, which often carry denigrating stigmas, and that may even leave the recipient totally lacking autonomy over their own thoughts and actions. They play the role of puppeteer and toy with brain chemistry, as it is very profitable for them to do so, and moreover appears as an easy fix, whereas what people may really need is genuine human friendship, connection, stability in their environment, life experience, direction (moral or otherwise), etc.
By "psychiatric disorder" I mean, simply: "A mental or behavioral pattern or anomaly that causes either suffering or an impaired ability to function in ordinary life (disability), and which is not a developmental or social norm."
Additional quotes should be added to "ordinary" and "norm."
