A psychiatrist cannot differentiate between "any regular person" and "significant degree of sociopathic behavior"?

  Maybe not as simple as you think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYemnKEKx0c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYemnKEKx0c

  A psychiatrist cannot differentiate between "any regular person" and "significant degree of sociopathic behavior"? No they can't. Psychiatric opinions are too mailable. It's not an easy assessment like diagnosing someone else's professional qualifications in a field unrelated to yours using a 2nd hand anecdote posted on the Internet. Now there's an analysis you can take to the bank.

    Any evidence to back up the claim "No they can't."? Their opinions seem to carry weight in courts. I'm not saying that is evidence, but that could be an indicator that psychiatrists might know what they're talking about (and its not just voodoo science).

      It was heavy sarcasm.
