Overdiagnosis in Psychiatry by Joel Paris
As one of the few books to thoroughly examine the critical problem of over-diagnosis in psychiatry today, Dr. Joel Paris - author of The Intelligent Clinician's Guide to the DSM-5® - shows how over-diagnosis leads to over-treatment in Overdiagnosis in Psychiatry: How Modern Psychiatry Lost Its Way While Creating a Diagnosis for Almost All of Life's Misfortune. Leaving no stone unturned, Dr. Paris considers the complications of the DSM-5 system with particular reference to major depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. While each of these conditions have given rise to diagnostic fads and epidemics, the classification of mental disorders remains provisional without any biomarkers for mental disorders. Because of this, Dr. Paris makes the case for the importance of conservative diagnoses, recognizing that normal variants are not necessarily disorders.
DrParis is a psychiatrist who knows his onions and so can make you weep. But the cause is not the onions. He weeps at the current fashion to give everyone a psychiatric diagnosis irrespective of its value or validity. He weeps at the failure to recognise strengths in people rather than weaknesses, and after reading his book we should all gain from one of its key sentences 'it would probably be better to define mental health, not as happiness, but as resilience in the face of adversity'." - Peter Tyrer, Professor of Community Psychiatry, Centre for Mental Health, Imperial College, London
