Although the OP sounds like an idiot I would be inclined to agree somewhat with him. The pathophysiology of cancer and type 1 diabetes are understood so it is easy to treat them. If we take ADHD for an example, it is not understood what causes it so in this sense how can you treat it. I only have ever met a couple of people who have ADHD and they truely cannot function properly within society but the epidemiology would suggest it is really frequent and this is due to mis-diagnoses, oh that child isn't listening in class therefore he must have ADHD, truth is he probably doesn't have ADHD and the mis-diagnoses is making it really hard to find a cure for a diseasae where most of the people who are studied to find common simalarities between them don't really have the disease. From my experience most of psychology is a load of hookum and most diseases that are caused by chemical imbalances in the brain should fall under neurological diseases.
This was exactly my point. How do you fix something you do not understand? What kind of doctor gives you pills and has no idea what they might do? Doctors are suppose to be more qualified.
IIN I think medicating people for psychological reasons is stupid.
