This is different situation here. He is not doing therapy nor treatment for this guy just evaluating for the study.



I realize that. I don't think it's pertinent to my point.

It matters very, very much whether we label someone as "a victim of a crime suffering PTSD" or "crazy" by some fancier term for crazy. If the diagnostic tools he is using make no effort to make such distinctions, they won't make that distinction for purposes of clinical treatment either.


Don't you think it's pretty damning for psychiatry if this guy is the first one who figured out he's actually ill from taking drugs, after decades when he was treated as mentally ill?
