None of the DSM editions had ever been scientific lmao.

There's no biology in mental disorders; none of them have objective phenomena and they are arbitrarily given and created.

Idk about the article itself but to say that there is no biological phenomenon behind mental disorders is to deny the experience of everyone who has anxiety disorder and goes through dissociative symptoms.
