Overdiagnosis in psychiatry: The complexity of new forms of harm

Original language description

Ovew the last few years more and more psychiatrists have started to recognize overdiagnosis as a problem. Overdiagnosis is commonly explained as a consequence of the properties of diagnostic instruments, but the present paper shows that overdiagnosis isa more complex problem caused not only by the validity and reliability of diagnostic methods. There are more factors contributing to overdiagnosis and several actors involved in the overdiagnosis process. Overdiagnosis is a result of the interplay between psychiatry, patients, the drug industry and society. The article describes the chief factors and the links between them, illuminating the participation of the involved parties in the overdiagnosis process.
