Thanks, interesting yes. Seems like classic example of biological psychiatry (drugs) vs psychological psychiatry (therapy). I'd take the latter any day if I had to choose, but there is something of a false dichotomy in his argument, as if you have to choose one or the other. Still, a pretty honest article.

And then there is the issue, seemingly entirely absent from all schools of therapy and psychiatry, of real biological factors in mental illness such as endocrine problems, systemic parasites, chronic infectious disease like Lyme disease, heavy metal toxicity and more. I have never met a therapist who has inquired into my physical health status. I happened to have been diagnosed with all of the issues I mention, and Lyme disease in particular is known to have potential for major psychological impacts. Drug-based psychiatry and therapy have nothing in their arsenals for this and do not even know to look for it.

BTW, this is a powerful statement:
"Treatments that follow from this simplistic, mechanistic, and reductionist notion have been to act directly on the brain, always with violating and destructive outcomes."
