there is no "mental illness"
there are thought disorders.
lots of folks have poked holes in the sickness/neurochemical theory for good reason. it is less about science, and more about easing the stigma of these thought disorders.
that's why they are still scrambling for effective pills to take.
it's only neurochemical in the sense that chemical changes run on electrical sparks.
some of the most effective drugs we have started out as drugs for epilepsy. electrical.
it was a great framework as a first step at using our brains to understand our brains. but it is a bit like me describing who i am by telling you what color my hair is.
the term "mental illness" needs to find it's way to the dustbin of history.
take freud w you.
