> when psychological causes can be found easily?
Can you give an example?
I think that, for some especially vulnerable people, when psychological stresses on the brain exceed its ability to cope with them resiliently, a major mental illness can be triggered as some sort of psychoneural dysregulation. From there, changes in brain morphology can occur. Once this state is reached, somatic (biological) interventions seem to be essential to bring about a remission of these brain disorders. Psychotherapy should not be ignored, though. It can help to reduce the psychosocial stress that triggered the illness in the first place, and allow the drugs to work better. When the drugs work better, so does the psychotherapy. A positive feedback loop is thus created that might facilitate a more rapid and robust improvement.
Just a few thoughts.
