Without brain imaging there’s no impartial method for diagnosing mental illness or monitoring progress.
Mental health advocacy has to be centered on physiological understanding of neural circuitry and mental illness must not be treated by mystics who differentiate between the psychological and the physiological. If the technology is insufficient then it should be all hands on deck to get it where it needs to be. The current state of affairs with patients self-diagnosing and medicine prescribed with no attempt to follow up from a physiological standpoint is disastrous and outdated by at least a century.
