A healthy person with larcenous motives and the aid of a DSM-4 could easily convince the most qualified of practitioners that he is clinically depressed. It happens often in disability cases. I've seen it first hand.
With depression, doctors only know what they are presented with by the patient. All they do is interpret.....guess with knowledge.
Other maladies, such as Schizophrenia, can have chemical verifications, such as anti-psychotics.
It's often occured to me that when a questionable patient is crying and suicidal while attempting to apply for disability, he should be left alone in a room with a loaded pistol on the table. Test his resolve....so to speak.
Freakin' frauds.....they cheapen my existance.
