In his contribution to Szasz Under Fire, Ronald Pies, a professor of psychiatry at the Tufts University School of Medicine, cites migraine headaches as an example of a physical condition that is diagnosed based entirely on “the patient’s verbal pronouncements” (complaints of pain, nausea, light flashes, etc.).

I thought they had determined that migraine attacks are associated with distention of blood vessels in the brain, a physical condition. Certainly some of the treatments work by trying to reverse this condition.

Article says, "Commitment is a judicial decision that is made by the court or by a mental health commission." However, I'll bet that 90% of committments are made by cops who may not read or write, but they are brutal. All the niceties and fine distinctions in this article are irreleant under these circumstances.
