I personally think "hard science" in the present form in society doesn't go deep enough. Yes we know bipolar is genetic, yes we know (or are told), it's caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. But from the perspective of someone with bipolar, that's not at all helpful. We can give them coping mechanisms and that still may not be enough for some. I ask the question, "where do we go from here?" all the time. People choose to ignore it because they fail to see it's value. If we are to advance these fields we need more perspectives and need to stop scratching the surface.
