Hi Scott,
To me, it seems highly improbable that any diagnosis which is based on subjectively measured symptoms will ever be demonstrated to be a distinct physiological entity. Rather, a group of people who's symptoms are consistent with the same DSM diagnosis are likely to have numerous different pathologies- both biological and psychosocial in nature.
Regards,
Ed.
