This is the real problem. ALL severe forms of mental illness are neurological...brain based. All of them. The technology is here today, unlike twenty or thirty years ago. Computers, all the high tech imaging equipment they have like SPECT and PET, genetic engineering is in its infancy. Id like to see more high tech, NASA type space technology applied to mental illness research, which would basically mean brain research.
Its time to ditch this psychiatry crap and go straight to Neurology and get the show on the road, IMO. Of course, I am very opinionated about this as a result of my experiences.
