Without quickly offering a diagnostic label and a prescription, there are very few ways to make a living as a psychiatrist in the U.S. today. We do not face these issues in the same way in Canada. Inherent in the DSM system is the necessity that the condition leads to clinically significant distress or clear and measured impairment in social and occupational functioning… Ian Brown’s sound diagnosis of psychiatry and its diagnostic system logically leads to the conclusion that establishing the diagnostic system should be a public policy matter, not left exclusively to psychiatry.
