I completely agree with you and the article as presented. I have been DXed Major Depression/Recurrent - Bipolar II - back to Major Depression; who cares none of the treatments work anyhow. This should come as no surprize because there are no emperical tests in psychiatry, its all anecdotal guess work. The excuse offered by psychiatrists - "well, the brain is a very complex organ" - not really good enough for those of us suffering with the illness is it?

I think the part I resent the most pertains to the importance placed on the supposed psycho-social component - "dealing with issues", "working on relationships", "getting in touch with our feelings" - POOP!!. I am too old to be sitting in the corner sucking my thumb and hugging my teddy bear. It would be great if psychiatry amounted to something more than a roll of the dice.

Question? Do you have any idea how to get in contact with a neurologist willing to deal with major depression?

Thanks
