Yes, I am living proof of that, there are biological, enviromental, and financial factors that contribute to the disease. It is amazing that since people who have never suffered it, question it. The brain is still misunderstood and complex. To just say it doesn't exist because they can't figure it out is shortsighted. It is easy to blame the individual for the invisible disease. Does diabetes exist, hight blood pressure, demetia, alzheimers? Law does not understand mental illness as it only looks at behavior, but mental illness effects behavior.
My question might be, does crime really exist? Since in one place something may be a crime and in another it might not.
But I do understand the argument put forth in that article. Personally I think most of the psychiatrists that were quoted in it should have their license pulled since they admit they have been committing fraud in treating something they say does not exist.
