i concur with perna. until medical research can find definitive proof and origin of MI, psychiatry and it's opinions are derived from subjective data. i suppose they do with what they can but getting to the origin may offer a clearer approach for treatment and pharmacology.
as for inhumane approaches/treatments the one i find most offensive is ECT. some here may disagree. over drugging a schizophrenic or other MI person to make him/her manageable is another.
