Science Still Lacking in Psychiatry

"Although the past two decades have produced a great deal of progress
in neurobiological investigations, the field has thus far failed
to identify a single neurobiological phenotypic marker or gene that
is useful in making a diagnosis of a major psychiatric disorder or
for predicting response to psychopharmacological treatment."

Does this quote come from another ranting anti-psychiatry activist?
Or perhaps a disgruntled psychiatric survivor with a grudge?

No, this quote comes from the Michael B. First, M.D., a Director/
Editor of the research agenda for DSM-V. You can find it in the
following online document:

A Research Agenda for DSM-V: Summary of the DSM-V Preplanning White
Papers Published in May 2002

Source: http://dsm5.org/whitepapers.cfm

And he says it again in a book published by the American Psychiatric
Association in 2005:

"A Research Agenda for DSM-V"
Edited by David J. Kupfer, M.D., Michael B. First, M.D., and Darrel A.
Regier, M.D., M.P.H.

Published by the American Psychiatric Association, Washington, D.C.

Available online for free, as a 332 page pdf document, at:
http://appi.org/book.cfm?id=2292

"At the risk of making an overly broad statement of the status of
neurobiological investigations of the major psychiatric disorders
noted above, it can be concluded that the field of psychiatry has
thus far failed to identify a single neurobiological phenotypic
marker or gene that is useful in making a diagnosis of a major
psychiatric disorder or for predicting response to psychopharmacologic
treatment." (p 33)

I understand your reaching out John, and that is a GOOD thing. We are
here only to support you. What is exactly your problem, besides
delusions of grandeur, running of the mouth and shortness of pants?
Ha-ha, just kidding there John. Thank you again for your response,
whatever it meant. Rest assured that WE will be HERE to support YOU
in anyway possible; so keep it clean, Gene!

I feel your pain John and that is why WE are HERE to SUPPORT you.

We know at the beginning it will be difficult, we have seen that
before, that is normal. Rest assured that with our group here, some
of us will be able to decipher what the heck is going on with you. I
personally would like to support you, but I am just too god darn busy
with everything.

It is obvious though that your problem is more than even we can do
anything with. Perhaps you should consult a specialist, or a
headshrinker. Now what I mean. :)

Have a nice day.
