- Psych* (psychological/psychiatric) problems exist (I'd be stupid to deny that)
- Many (if not most or even all) psych* problems haven an organic root cause (environmental / dietary / pathogenic / etc.)
- Even those psycho* problems with an established psych* cause (PTSD comes to mind) have an substantial environmental/organic component
- Therefore few (if any at all) psych* problems have a psychiatric root cause, and few are therefore actually psych* problems
- Furthermore, the response of such an psych* problem with an organic cause to psych* treatment will be weak – at best
And as a addendum: Good psych* therapy, with a good understanding of the pathological problems, and a good understanding of its own limitations, can (at best) improve the quality of life – but should be careful not to mistake improved quality of life with an cure.

Comments are most welcome! But please:
- No SPAM whatsoever, no supplements, no pharmaceuticals, no herbs or any other advertisements
- Absolutely no quack-doctors pushing their quack-BS websites (and if you are a quack, I will call you out)
- Be critical if you want to, but try to be coherent
Comments are moderated, because I am tired of Gerwyn-V99-The-Idiot and his moronic sockpuppets, and tired of the story of the two dogs, but I will try to publish everything else.
If you are not Gerwyn (and want to tell me something other than the story of the two dogs), then relax and write something! :-)
