While a single personal experience proves nothing: a friend's brother clearly had serious issues, whom was diagnosed as ADHD despite the family insisting the doctor consider it to be a bipolar disorder due to the family's history of bipolar members. Now, I can't say if the family took the little hellion in for a second opinion, but he was diagnosed later to be bipolar and not ADHD.

There is a difference as physics and engineering have been around long enough that there have been objective standards invented, leading to detailed rubrics that future engineers and scientists must adhere to and promptly they will receive successful results. Application of psych' science is not yet 100% effective. Give it time and I bet it won't be like that.

How would you like us to verify it outside of personal experience? We are not experts in the field, as it is obvious, and therefore would not be able to provide adequate results. All I know is that I've had to meet with "professionals" that were useless in figuring out why I act and think the way I did. I'll then mention the horrid medical treatment my father has received that twice in my life had nearly killed him but was "not negligence" of his attending.
I have yet to have any experience that proves medicine and psych' are exact.
Yes it is opinion, but usually those come from personal experiences.
