The analysis

The claim states that specific psychiatric disorders currently have objective neuroimaging-based diagnostic methods. Standard psychiatric manuals and literature (such as RDoC initiatives and depression biomarker reviews) confirm that while neuroimaging machine learning is an active area of research, routine psychiatric diagnosis still entirely depends on clinical symptom criteria rather than objective neuroimaging tests. Therefore, the claim is refuted.
