Are depression, ADHD, bipolar, etc., real?

The research is only more dubious than a broken bone because the level of scientific knowledge is not yet there. But leaps and bounds have been made over the past several decades and that cannot be denied. The “realness” of mental illness cannot be denied, and it cannot even be called dubious. Just because it is complicated, and because it occurs in the brain rather than the heart or liver does not make it fake.

Mental illness is not subjective. Yes, different practitioners may diagnose differently, but I have had shoulder injuries diagnosed in 3 different ways by 3 different doctors too.
