PSYCHIATRY,PRO AND CON

With a field so much influencing the other medical fields as well as social and behavioral sciences,not to mention arts and literature,there are insights against it :
Just symptoms but no tests are available for diagnosis and treatment
Diagnosis Inflation or overdiagnosis,Bogus Mental Illnesses such as Binge Eating Disorders
and then treating them by medications
Diagnosis Epidemy and overtreatment

I think self therapy is another problem between physicians and other people to worsen the situation.
