why there is no biomarker or clinical test for mental illneses?

No, I was put there because I called the psychiatrist from the open ward dumb and he declared me a public threat and I was relocated down there and put into closed solitary for one night, then into a regular room and was able to leave just shortly after that because other patients and nurses from the open ward testified that the claims made by the psychiatrist were bogus, the external reviewer revoked the public threat the day after and the chief psychiatrist from the closed ward released me.It was his opinion/claim vs. the opinions of two trained psychiatrists (one internal, one external), multiple nurses and multiple patients none of which agreed with anything he claimed. You could call this "Well, the system worked then. The safety/security features worked. That's what the external reviewer and internal second opinion etc. are for, that's what object/appeal is for" and you'd be right about that. "You should thank those other trained psychiatrists". "You should thank the other staff etc.". I did. I did thank them.
