Not only can they name the chemicals in the brain ( dopamine, serotonin, norepinepherine, ect ) and explain how and why they work - they can use cat scans to watch it happening in real time. The only "unknown" is that with some medications they are unsure how and why they effect these chemicals in the manner that they do.
I am not sure where you are getting your information from, but it's incorrect and misleading.
This diagnosis process does not take in account some of these human conditions were required to play natural roles within the Darwinian model. Its actually society requiring people to conform to very unnatural ways of living for some people.

Yes, it DOES take into account EVERY circumstance of the client's life. It's a multi-axial assessment that includes overall functioning, and especially takes into consideration the subjective experience (THE FEELINGS) of the client.
Why do you think that the process doesn't take that into account???
