This book, now revised in a second edition, examines the problem of overdiagnosis in psychiatry, focusing on problems with current diagnostic systems. It shows that diagnosis is not always a good guide to treatment selection and that diagnoses have been expanded in scope to justify currently popular methods of pharmacotherapy or psychotherapy. The most important categories that are overdiagnosed are bipolar disorders, major depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder. The boundary of pathology and normality remains unclear. This edition also discusses dimensional systems that are transdiagnostic and shows how overdiagnosis is linked to the practice of aggressive psychopharmacology.
