On the upside, psychiatry and neuroscience are beginning to merge. The disease model of mental illness is such a poor abstraction. And diagnostics in psychiatry is mostly contained to subjective self-reported symptoms. And then treatment is basically a crapshoot; trial and error with antidepressants that don&#x27;t have well understood causative mechanisms.<p>As neuroimaging becomes ubiquitous and cheaper, it will replace self-reporting as the primary diagnostic tool. At which point we&#x27;ll be able to do away from the &#x27;DSM disease model&#x27; and actually see which &#x27;neural circuits&#x27; are dysfunctional. Consequently, medication will be better calibrated and targeted.<p>I really think we&#x27;re on the verge of a psychiatric revolution, and will all be better off as a result.
