A long time ago, in university, I had a class called human computer interaction.
This was before the term UI/UX was even used and it was about designing interfaces in software and apps for better human use.
One of the biggest points of the class was that to ask a person about what is better for her or him is absolutely useless, a person doesn't have a macro view of things and can't do the homework for you.
A person needs to be observed interacting with your interface or at least a mock up of it, and then you see the pain points, what is not working, etc.
In light of this, how come every psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis are basically centered in interviews where the medic makes questions and then try to identity certain symptoms?
How come psychiatrists even assume in the first place that the patient is a reliable narrator to be inquired?
