I think you play fast and loose with the facts, and draw broad conclusions from limited and disparate data, which might well characterize every discussion we have every had.
Did you not read about how psychological disorders come to be? They aren't real, they are voted on by other psychologists and sponsored by the drug company. The disorder comes after the drug that is designed to treat it is approved. They then vote the disorder into the catalog, that way insurance can pay for it.

How is that science in any way shape or form? Its no more science than politics is.

I would like to see some stats from this overwhelming majority of scientists you seem to know...

I provided you with direct info from the drug manufacturer, they have no idea how the drug works, just that it does.
