There is still almost no science behind it and the majority of pscyhiatrists and nurses, GPs too, routinely misdiagnose people.
A lot of people who are considered mentally ill actually have progressive diseases.
Where are the scientific tests? People visit a psychiatrist and they do not have their brain scanned.
Surely we should be developing psychiatry into a more robust, technically precise science in the same way we progressed physical healthcare from prescribing herbs to the array of devices used today.
Yeh your spot on there I think. I was reading how inflammation might be responsible for autism, depression and anxiety and other mental health conditions. Very interesting stuff. Antidepressants have anti inflammatory properties. Temple grandin the autistic author said how Prozac helped her inflammatory bowel disease go away. Temple grandin is cool I read one of her books.
