Reading over your posts it occurred to me that you probably would find these articles helpful. http://www.simonsobo.com/pursuing-treatments-that-are-not-evidence-based. and http://www.psychiatrictimes.com/display/article/10168/54226 They follow through on the ideas you found clarifying in the first article. Basically it questions the validity of a great many illnesses defined by DSM IV. Bipolar disorder is being wildly overdiagnosed, but also the kind of reasoning used for "evidence based" treatment has many shortcomings.
