However, I do not believe that a thoughtful psychiatrist would intentionally overmedicate or pathologize their patient. Sometimes it is important to simplify medications and to reevaluate a diagnosis. I am just concerned that you may have given the impression that because the DSM exists, that people are mistreated. I still believe that it is the physician's responsibility to carefully evaluate each individual, and not to see them as a "disorder" but as someone with potential strengths. I believe that you are trying to also say this, and I agree.
