Summary of Sarah Fay's Pathological - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I began to sweat as we walked slower. The buildings seemed distant and dislocated, and the voices of doctors and nurses sounded like they were coming from far away. #2 I went to a good university, and may or may not have shown promise. I wasn't a professional mental patient, but I was a willing participant in the psychiatric industrial complex, embracing six diagnoses. #3 The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, which is the book that psychiatrists and psychologists use to diagnose patients, is completely unproven and does not have any validity.
It's a book that has become socially sanctioned, and many, many people believe it's a scientifically proven medical manual. #4 The DSM is an attempt to help others understand the truth about the diagnoses they or their loved ones might receive. It is an attempt to loosen criteria, add specifiers, and shift symptoms.
