You have to complete medical school to be a psychiatrist. They absolutely study the entire body. You really have no clue as to what you are talking about.

What in F are you talking about? They are doctors first and finish Med school like every other doctor and then specialize in psychiatry afterwards. Whatever stupid links you posted, it appears you didn’t read them or probably and more likely didn’t comprehend them. We already have evidence you didn’t understand one of the articles you linked….

That paper is just saying that, instead of putting everything in a box with a label, a more flexible approach would probably better serve patients. It doesn't suddenly invalidate an entire profession; in fact, it would do the exact opposite. Insurance companies and government agencies won't let the DSM go though.

Psychiatry is advancing quickly in our current era, so saying it's essentially a worthless profession is extremely short-sighted.
