   This is a classic case of apples vs. oranges. Psychiatry deals exclusively   
   with emotional, behavioral or perceptual issues for which no underlying   
   abnormal pathology exists. Laboratory procedures to diagnose 'mental   
   illneses' will never be developed simply because headshrinkers are   
   essentially chasing shadows rather than diagnosing pathology.
