It does no such thing, your claim is false. (re: the article)

"Mental disorders are biological disorders involving brain circuits that implicate specific domains of cognition, emotion, or behavior". It's the second dot point. The first dot point and parts of the prose strongly imply similar, but the second dot point explicitly states biological underpinning for mental states.

This is why I'm not interested in talking with you anymore. You behave exactly as a religious fundamentalist, twisting words, creating strawmen, ignoring inconvenient statements like the above, and putting words in people's mouths - for example, Insel doesn't say that psychology itself is bad science, just that the DSM isn't as good as it could be. In fact, the word 'psychology' doesn't even appear in his article.
