Is there an epidemic of stupid? Yes . How do you distinguish stupid from crazy? There is no physical pathology to mental disorders, if there is, it is then neurological disease. What is the role of diagnosis and of diagnostic manuals? With a diagnosis it is possible to give mercy to those who are suffering. To predict the future is to create the future, a true doctor has to wait for "disease" to concretely appear in a measurable way before "treating" it.

Neurochemical interventions are very amenable to standardization. Never mind the intractable question of etiology. It's chicken and egg. I believe the new objective will be to shape and standardize neurology at the level of subject in order to render bodies more easily controlled by neurochemical intervention. To have a model that views pathology as an emergent phenomena is to venture into combinatorially explosive territory. What is hidden in that territory? Conflicting interests at a very fundamental level I suspect.
