So are you saying that manic depression and schizophrenia are not real diseases because they cannot be cured but only “managed?”

We have reported elsewhere on industry relationships with DSM-5 task force members [18]. Although the composition of the task force has changed slightly since its formation in 2007 (e.g., Pilecki et al. [19] found 72% of the members had ties in early 2011) industry relationships persist despite increased transparency. Currently, 69% of the DSM-5 task force members report having ties to the pharmaceutical industry.
And trying to manage those conditions is crippling and killing people wholesale.
