That industry should be taken with a grain of salt, IMHO, because I'm pretty sure you can diagnose literally every person on Earth with _something_ in the DSM.
So, something there, but the methodologies and understanding can be lackluster?

Not a great argument - I'm pretty sure you can diagnose literally every person on Earth with _something_ in the ICD (International Classification of Diseases) as well (kind of cheating because mental health stuff is in there too, but still, even if you exclude that section).

But are those symptoms long-lasting? Are they severe? Do they impede day-to-day life? Professional diagnosis isn’t like WebMD.

You can diagnose someone with 20/20 vision and no sign of any eye problems with an eye disease? Do tell :)

More seriously, I think you need to restrict your argument to a subset of medicine, otherwise your argument is actually just "there are other area(s) of medicine that also exhibit the same issue" which is not really a counterpoint to my original comment but instead an addition to it.

#19Someone with 15 karma gets this article on the front page yer I post this and nothing? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36680252 What, is HN algorithm seeking psychiatric help?
Tbh your title is pretty boring. Everyone already knows that "Everything Is a Quantum Wave"
The point is the weird mix that shows on the front page versus not.
The reputation system leads to an echo chamber that many consider boring.

So we can discount psychology as a whole but need to pick and choose medicine? Why don't we consider the various areas of psychology as well instead of just throwing out the whole book?
