Whatever the cause, there are certain mental
states that have identical clusters of symptoms;
those symptoms for practical purposes fall under
the categories of mania, or schizophrenia, or
catatonic depression, or memory loss.You have to have some label to identify the
condition. That's the case with all medical
diseases. As to how accurate or descriptive they are of physical, or social, or transient or permanent brain damage-- that's another matter.Squiggles
