Whey you use the word "system" you've already lost the biologists. They only do parametric statistics and chemical vats.

@polarisera The psychiatry neurotransmitters theory was debunked - like everything else in this pseudoscience that started out
theorizing that Black slaves who wanted to run away were "mentally ill."
"The neurotransmitter/monoamine/brain chemistry imbalance theory of depression and mental illness is a pseudoscientific myth and a marketing miracle."

@lain @polarisera Of course not, but it's one of the least harmful "cures." Psychiatry is the only field where almost every theory & "cure" has been proven false. Nevertheless, the field controls our entire society.
Except for maybe existential therapy or cognitive behaviorl therapy, it's utterly useless.LS likes this.
