I SO agree with what you are saying. Some psych issues aren't due to emotions, but to biology/ physiology. (Sorry, not well versed in science!) I had a massive head injury due to car accident. Head repeatedly slammed against steering wheel, bending wheel and breaking bones from eyebrow to jawbone. 3 months post accident, in a blink, world changed. Short term memory, sudden sporadic bouts of crying/deep depression with no reason, OCD like behavior, etc. Psychiatrist put me on STRONG anti-psychotic drugs, which kept me numb, and deemed me mentally ill. Didn't matter that Pre accident, I held retail management position, graduated a year early from high school, had a very high IQ, had friends, did things, took care of self. After two weeks on the drugs, I found myself reaching for them long before scheduled time of dosage. I immediately threw them out and never returned for treatment. Why don't these Phd's look at body before diagnosing mind?
