It's true that doctors should listen to patients, and that diagnosing medical problems, especially psychological problems, can be very difficult.

However, your post has a very "we don't need x-rays, we can just tell the bone is broken" vibe. It reads like you think better and more objective, quantitative diagnosis is not worth pursuing.

I do not care about your vibe. I care about finding the truth and telling it like it is from my lived experience.

They diagnosed the patients to get them in the study and they they said "see, it matched out "objective" diagnosis based on the patients "subjective" complaints.

There is nothing quantitative about what they are doing. Take a look at figure 5. How quantitative is that?
