I will just answer to the first assertion since this is clearly not a constructive debate: Frontal lobe damage a d general brain damage CAN be caused by neuroleptics as well as trauma (such as concussion, diffuse axonal damage, etc), metabolic imbalances (hyperammonemia, etc.) Nutritional deficits (chronic vitamin b deficiency), and a very very long list of more causes.

On what do you ground such assertions as schizophrenia 'obviously' not existing or a 'non sensical' category? The DSM has changed much in nearly 60 yours from what you quote here. It seems to me you're cherry picking whichever opinions best mirror your own.

I disagree with what you posit here. While some disorders are certainly caused by a diseased capialist system that fails to grant agency and achievemt to the vast majority there are several other diseases which arise independent of whichever socioeconomic framework, i.e. those which have a strong connection to genes (such as ADHD), neurological damage (such as certain frontal lobe syndromes), circuitry disfunction (such as OCD) and so on.
