k, let's clear up a few things on the APA's
DSM IV scale. It's a tool not an absolute. (They have revised the edition. Once upon a time, homosexuality was seen as a dysfunction.) Psychology started out as the study of the soul, but is now considered a Science with diagnoses, etiology, behavioral, biological, environmental factors, & researchable data. Even then, there are different schools of thought like Erikson, Skinner, Piaget .... Take it with a grain of salt 'cause the human spirit is a factor. Treating depression is a bit different than treating bi-polar disease.

Everyone's body chemistry is different, so everyone has different reactions to drugs. There's the spin on that enchilada.
