Pollution & mental illness

I like a lot of the points raised in Mental Illness Is Not in Your Head — Decades of biological research haven’t improved diagnosis or treatment. We should look to society, not to the brain., but not enough to recommend reading it. It's a review of two books, Mind Fixers: Psychiatry’s Troubled Search for the Biology of Mental Illness and Desperate Remedies: Psychiatry’s Turbulent Quest to Cure Mental Illness, and I'm torn between "oh, that looks interesting", and being even more depressed about the current state of psychiatry and psychology.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
