It is true that more medications have been developed and it is true that therapies have been subjected to empirical investigation and it is true that we have developed better neuroimaging techniques. I'm not sure how much this has led to 'advances' in treatment, however. We don't seem to understand the mechanisms of mental disorder any better than we did. When something seems to work (to provide some relief) we don't really have any idea how or why it works.
