He trivializes symptoms in the DSM even though it is accepted that these symptoms are to have significant impact on the individual's life.
I was expecting a more nuanced discussion of the failings of the system. Perhaps how it isn't really built for anyone who is not male or Caucasian.
The attempts at humor fell flat and actively detracted whatever points the author was dancing around. The author was also not very focused on his own points and jumped all over the place at times. This felt like directionless info-dump.
If you are familiar with this author you might enjoy this book. I did not.
