That's a very tragic story. Let's be glad that we're no longer in the middle of the previous century, that we are benefiting from more treatment options and far more nuanced comprehension of mood disorders now than existed then. Maybe in the next century people will look back onto our time like that, too. But there's still a long way to go, and today's rules of thumbs could well be overturned in the future. Yes, definately a field for the best and brightest minds- let's hope they get the funding they need, and aren't wooed or forced into overly simplistic fixes which are easy to sell and fund. Also good we get to exchange information and notes. It can't hurt to be as aware as possible. And still, I think it's better to be doubtful once in awhile than to cling to any ideas or treatments which aren't working out, or to dismiss ideas that could help but aren't immediately attractive. So I still think you are doing alright to be wondering if everything you believe might be wrong- you could be keeping your door open this way.
