So you don't think a rich person can use their money to shop around for sketchy psychologists? You don't think it's possible that Munchausen syndrome (something science has proved exists) could be becoming more common? Why did you even state things that are scientifically provable are valid? Duh. Things that aren't scientifically disproven are also invalid, in case anyone else wanted another useless reminder to up vote.

You seem very upset about this. I doubt this will help since it doesn't seem like your reasoning is influenced by logic, but, the fact that there are fraudulent doctors and diagnoses doesn't mean science isn't real.
