There isn't anything heated about it. Psychiatry is in its infancy. PERIOD.

I also believe that psychotherapy might have fundamental flaws and I subsequently use
it as a venue to rant or vent as opposed to being a burden to my friends.

I don't think anyone should have their opinions censored.

These aren't the Freud days any longer. We all have been finding out that our MI is a brain malfunction and you only have your fmri (fMRI) which is a functional neuroimaging procedure using MRI technology that measures brain activity by detecting associated changes in blood flow. This technique relies on the fact that cerebral blood flow and neuronal activation are coupled.

or your pet scans and DNA!

We all should be looking forward to the progress of Neuroscientist.

"Neuroscience is a highly interdisciplinary field encompassing study in fields such as biology, chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, medicine, psychiatry, psychology, engineering, and mathematics."

I do believe that therapy can try to guide you in coping with MI to a certain degree because it can be really rough and some people do not have support systems which therapy provides.

Some MI can be very frightening and one would need a certain kind of support. So to me it does serve a purpose.

Just my quick opinion.
