Thinking a little further about it, we treat every other illness below our necks with the knowledge that we are a composite of biological mysteries that only the most learned and dedicated scientists have the ability to treat. The brain is a marvelous and amazing organ, performing incredible tasks millions upon billions of seconds every day. Everything the brain does also has a biological base to it. But to assign a different set of standards to it and judge an illness suffered within the brain with contempt and assign some form of social sigma to it makes no sense whatsoever. It is archaic thinking. The time is completely past due to understand that what goes on in our brains is no different than other biologically based illnesses that show up elsewhere in our bodies, although there are peculiarities that are assigned to each and every individual body system.
