Neuroscience, neurology, mental disorders

RE: Neuroscience, neurology, mental disorders
Really man, calling me a child isn't going to work.

Oh, so you're talking about "treatment" while I was discussing biological testing to diagnose "mental illness", now I see why you're confused...

I can roll with that though. Are you aware of what psychotherapy is? Since you brought up treatments, I'd like to point you to this article on how psychotherapy helps people with depression.

http://www.apa.org/topics/depress/recover.aspx?item=5
Oddly enough, that seems to imply a person can actively combat their "illness" with thoughts.... Thinking

For the record, psychotherapy is really just "talk" therapy. (we're going have to discuss this aspect because this implies that words have magical powers to heal real, verified, chemical imballances in the brain)
Should I expect you to contest this point?

You may or may not realise this, but if there is ever found a biological cause of any "mental illness", it will then fall into the realm of medical (physiological) science. Think about that...
