[QUOTE="DogmaHunter, post: 69810489, member: 346237"] The taboo around mental illness is a cultural one. For centuries, millenia even, religion has been telling us that there is "the mind" on the one hand and then "the body" on the other. As if they are seperate things. This results in the idea that those with mental problems have a "spiritual" problem, rather then a physical one. But the reality is that "the mind" is directly related to "the brain". In fact, it isn't at all incorrect to say that the mind IS the brain. The brain is an organ just like any other. And like your liver, your brain can fail or function improperly to. This is why an exorcism and prayer doesn't pull people out of psychosis, but anti-psychotic medicine does. [/QUOTE]
