There's a lot of research out there that applies to your post Dinah. Here's a good example (I think ?):
http://www.psybc.com/pdfs/library/Dysregulation_of_right_Brain_Schore_Trauma.pdf
But who knows how to actually 'fix' this type of brain dysregulation if this is true? IMO, there's a systematic problem in the application of research to clinical practice, and a gap between endocrinology and psychiatry is just one example. Psychiatry in the practice setting seems to be evolving at the pace of a snail. Although I realize it does take time to transfer technology and research to clinical practice, the way psychiatry is practiced today seems so archiac to me. Maybe it's just me and not others who perceive this?
I'd imagine a systematic solution would be costly, and the whole health care system is extremely fragmented; yet, it's components are so interrelated.
If I had the opportunity, I'd love to redesign the entire DSM - but I'd probably need at least 2 more college degrees to even attempt that : )
