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

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.

"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)
