[quote=Anonymous]Probably none--not that there isn't a problem but no one really knows what it is. The problem is that there is no etiology for many diagnoses--and usually none for anything that's in DSM for instance. So it's whatevfer the doctors or evaluators choose to see, and we know how reliable that is. We had a friend in our condo who was a pediatrician and I'd often ask her for a diagnosis for silly things like rashes, or something involving a fever, etc. right before taking my kids to the pediatrician. I would say she and our pediatrician came to different conclusions two-thirds of the time. Can you imagine what the error rate must be for psychological problems?[/quote]
