I agree, Indie. Psychiatry does focus more on controlling the mind to maintain a behaviour that is considered closer to social norms than they do to actually exploring the workings of it, however, considering that in order to study the workings of the human mind, one would have to study the active brain and therefore, active human brains, I doubt there are many volunteers lining up to offer their brains to science while they are still using them. That produces problems in the science field.
