Thanks for your comment @alexander.alexis, and for sharing that study! Indeed, it's one thing to diagnose a physical illness, after all, our bodies don't differ that much from each other, and even those differences can be observed and quantified. But our mind and conciousness is subjective, and every one is unique. How can we expect to group and classify psychiatric conditions when we cannot quantify the characteristics of thoughts and ideas? Hell, we don't even know how conciousness really works.

And well, I personally kind of share that view on religion. But as with regular diseases, if it doesn't cause harm (normally), there's no problem with just letting it be.
