I think people are trying, but they haven't been able to find a mechanism like that.

It was a happy day for psychiatry when it was discovered that a subset of psychotic patients had a bacterial infection - Syphilis. That a course of anti-biotics was an effective cure.

Or even that there was a relatively effective medication (lithium) for a subset of cases of mania.

Inflammation... Hormones... All the rage right now. Either those or quantum indeterminacies. If you don't understand x and you don't understand y then maybe the two are related? There might be some principle there... Something about the minimisation of mysteries...
