Ya know, this is something that only was thrown in my direction recently, but when I thought about it, it really made me think: when it comes to physical ailments, medicine of all kinds has been worked on and improved for many hundreds of years, but serious effort to treat mental illness in a scientific way has only been going on for a relatively short time. I have frequently found myself bemoaning the lack of ability to accurately diagnose and treat us but when you think about it, a lot more progress has been made in the last 100 years than may seem immediately obvious.
I only wish to point out that there's reason to hope for us all.
