“In short, the whole business of creating psychiatric categories of ‘disease,’ formalising them with consensus, and subsequently ascribing diagnostic codes to them, which in turn lead to their use for insurance billing, is nothing but an extended racket furnishing psychiatry a pseudo-scientific aura.”

—Dr. Thomas Dorman, Member of the Royal College of Physicians of the United Kingdom and Canada
