I see, so you are comparing the complexity of a human being that contains reasoning skills and emotions to a vehicle?

The vehicle that is blowing smoke lends itself to a list of conditions that cause smoke blowing. A mechanic can then make an educated guess as to the most likely causes of a smoke blowing condition.It is called profiling, based upon many years of research that shows the propensity of certain traits and behaviors that are most LIKELY to indicate particular issues.”
Again, as I wrote to the previous line, you are comparing a human beings reasoning skill and emotions to that of a car? Also, you can misdiagnose a car more then one time until it’s fixed, but not with humans. When you misdiagnose someone, which happens quite often due the probability guess, you end up destroying the structure that was working fine to begin with. It’s irreversible, in fact, the new heavier dosage, or a different form of medication, makes conditions even worse, if they are unhelpful. Furthermore, do you understand that you, the psychiatrist, and the psychologist, are setting standards of what is considered “normal” and “abnormal” mental health? What do you base these normal standards on? Yourself? The general public? If everyone was doing the same “normal” routine, we wouldn’t have an Einstein (for example). Those that stood out were considered “not normal”. A human being is way to complex when compared to a car. There is no such thing as probabilities. As I said, I can be married, kids, PHD professor, yet I enjoy talking to myself, and smearing shit on the walls. To you, the psychiatrist, and the psychologist, it feels that I’m displayed behavior of a categorical textbook standard of what you set to be considered “normal” and abnormal” behaviors. Thus, since I smear shit and talk to myself, I’m must be a psychopath, because the signs are there. The truth is, it’s personal distaste that you, the psychiatrist, and psychologist have, therefore, you set such standards because you feel and say it’s wrong. Profiling? Let me show you the problem in doing so. Take black people for example. They can be considered formidable creatures because they take up 13% of the population yet cause 60% of the crimes? Average IQ among them is at 80. Therefore, chances are, when you see a black person doing something that fits the profile, he/she must be arrested immediately and be considered primitive of the mind. That seems something right to do?

These behaviors are part of a younger persons drive to differentiate and establish their independence of thought and action. I have no idea if I am correct, but based on what I see and my life experience/knowledge It is an educated guess based on how you present yourself.”
It’s a poor misdiagnosis on your part. You would of been more correct in speculating that it was an educated critique since evidence and logic was displayed. However, what’s stopping me from speculating on your mental behavior? We can both call each other X, doesn’t make it so.
@Coloma wrote, “healthy person does not exhibit harmful anger towards others”.
He/she is healthy. They are using their emotions to reach a goal. If the intellectual part didn’t think an thoroughly, that doesn’t make it psychotic, it makes it a poor judgment call due to lack of thinking it through and life experience or X other reasons.

I disagree, opinion more likely.
