I can't understand how you justify that?!!!!!

They are ppl there out there that would really suuffer if their problems get reduced to neuroloical disorders.

Many patients in psychiatry have "deffective thouhgts" and psychiatry have the responsibilty to deal with that.

Would be really funny if a patient goes to a neurologist about say depresson and the neurologist starts talking about "medial frontal lobe" or "anterioir hypothalamus" " or "septohippocampal complex"... In fact, as far as today, this has no clinical significance. A day might come when we would start to set chips into the brain but for now this sounds like science fiction! What about developing crazy chips? nazi chips? crime chips? or some freak would take a depression chip and hack it into "popular guy" chip? WeLL, ALL THIS SOUNDS LIKE SCIENCE FICTION TO ME, and might bring disasters to humanity!!!!! And I think many scientists would agree that this is really far away. PLEASE REMEMBBER THAT EVEN THE MECHANISMS BY WHICH ANTI DEPRESSANTS HELP DEPRESSION ARE STILL UNKNOWN. We know about uptake and so on, but how this leads improvement.. we know about changes in the synapse (down and up regualtion is one hypothesis) but yet how this really works, anyone's guess.

> I dont mind at all having a diagnostic code written after my name as long as it is accurate and correct. In fact, I WANT one. I want to be diagnosed correctly, with an individualized diagnosis. I want everything individualized. I dont like this "one size fits all" canned approach that psychiatry has.

Being placed on the wrong class of psychiatry drug can tear a person's brain down faster than anything. Examples; a bipolar person initially misdiagnosed with unipolar major depression or anxiety and placed on an SSRI without a mood stabilizer. They go manic and end up hospitalized. That shouldnt happen...psychiatrists should be able to predict better what the reactions to their meds will be.
