There is no test because there is nothing present to be subjected to a test.   To explain simply, psychiatric "diseases" are made-up.  Psychiatry creates diseases by putting labels on behavior.  Based on these labels, psychiatrists give one powerful drugs or shock, and afterward look for some science to support the "fact" they already told.

The term "disease" implies that there is some damaged, defective or missing tissue. One can note that in the case of psychiatric "diseases", one will find no definition of the disease in terms of what tissue is missing or damaged. Psychiatry takes common experiences of mankind and labels them as diseases. We have all experienced depression, anxiety or shyness, but psychiatry has labelled these emotions or experiences as diseases.

Psychiatrists proceed to drug or shock individuals in the name of "curing" your "disease".

If a person is having mental troubles, he should get a throrough medical checkup to discover any actual physical problems he is having. Hypothyrodism can make a person depressed;  tumors can cause problems.  Poor Nutrition and lack of sleep effect a person.  Note that food and sleep are real things that are needed by the body.

Leave the imaginary diseases to the psychiatrists.

If anyone tells you a mental "illness" is a real disease, have them answer these questions borrowed from Dr. Fred Baughman's appearance before the Committee on Education and the Workforce SUBCOMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND INVESTIGATIONS

If you, Ladies and Gentlemen, if want to know whether ADHD, or any psychiatric "disease" is truly a disease or not, all you have to do is pose the following question, just as I did, on September 19, to Doctors Hyman and Castellanos (or any reputable psychiatric researcher, or psychiatric organization), of the NIMH: Is ADHD (or any psychiatric disease) a bona fide disease with a confirmatory physical or chemical abnormality demonstrable within the patient? Circle "yes" or "no". (do not write in this space). If yes, cite the article which constitutes proof of the confirmatory physical or chemical abnormality, entering the following: the author(s)_________________. title of the article ________. journal name ___________. date__________________. volume_________ page numbers________. (do not write anything else in this section) Examples: Baughman FA. CHANDS: the curly hair-ankyloblepharon-nail dysplasia syndrome. Birth Defects: Original Article Series. 1971;7:100-102. (this was the original description of a never-before described disease, validated as such by it�s confirmatory, distinctive, combination of physical abnormalities. Toriello HV, Lindstrom JA, Waterman, DF, Baughman FA. Re-evaluation of CHANDS. Journal of Medical Genetics. 1979;16:316-317. (this study proved that CHANDS is a genetic disease)
