There's a world beyond freud, and american psychiatrists are famous worldwide for being nothing but drug dealers since the late 80s
Can you tell the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychoanalyst? Because if you can't it means you don't know what you're talking about, which is usually the case with people calling psychiatry a fraud
What physical evidence is required for a psychiatrist to support their diagnosis?
lol, yeah I see what you're trying here... A psychiatrist isn't exactly a plumber, his job's going to be a little more subtle, and no, you aren't going to be able to improvise yourself as one over the weekend, even if you think of yourself as smart enough, sorry
But to answer your question, generally speaking, the same material evidence that a cop needs to know if you're lying or not.
Your answers, reactions, behavior, when he interacts with you, your familial background... That's not exactly "material"... https://youtu.be/S-4nzmdYQTA?t=64
Heresy. So factually NOT a science
Each year a guild of elites get together and write a manual for diagnosis that they then use as evidence to diagnose patients.
Circular reasoning.
I study humans and human behavior as a passionate hobby. Just as scientific as psychiatrists but without their biases and mumbo jumbo because to talk up a chosen profession is to be human
