I agree with you that the basis of psychiatry mainly rest on given it a name and pushing a drug. Psychology, on the other hand, has some basis based on behaviors.
To me, anyone pushing drugs are to be suspect. They are not helping.

Quite right. I'm not conveting there are categories for affective behavior. Myers-Briggs is a good example of of personality categorization. However, personality behavior normally change with individuals over time. Another aspect are the 'Conative' (not cognitive) categorization of traits. These are inherent to the individual and never change. To understand this 'side' of our selves would be to read the work of Kathy Kolby, et. al. The last part of our make-up is the cognitive aspect. None of these really relate to so-called 'mental disease', which are a field of created names justifying the pharmacy medicine being advertised. As the renowned psychiatrists have stated, there is no scientific method used for determining mental disease.
I have never heard of conative. Will look. I understand about changing over time. Certain traits don't change and when suppressed, manifest as mental illness or physical illness.
