Not always. In some cases it's damn hard to untangle the two and the disorder needs to be considered on a global basis.
A disorder should be considered on a global basis anyway, but I've never heard of anything that makes it difficult to untangle the two. Just because a doctor can't find the cause doesn't mean it's not there. Sure, there are neuropsychiatric disorders (which have psychological and neurological symptoms that are easily distinguished), but a neurological disorder is not psychiatric and a psychiatric disorder is not neurological in terms of classifying the disorder. Sure, a neurological condition might present with something like depression, but again if there is a neurological cause, it's not psychiatric per se. They don't send you to a psychiatrist to treat seizures.

I don't see anything wrong with eugenics as a practice and not as an enforced rule. Why wouldn't we try to make healthier offspring? Too bad idiots reproduce everyday.
