Your initial post was about how mental illnesses are biological hence should be treated by medication. I took you to be saying 'all' mental illnesses and 'only' medication and hence I offered counter-examples.What I did say (repeatedly, I thought) was that intervention target at one level was likely to be less effective than intervention targeted at multiple levels. Hence... The best plan of attack is the a multi-levelled one that attempts to interveane on biological, psychological, and social causes of mental illness.
