Unfortunately, what is done all too often is this: A disease that may not exist is treated with a drug whose action in humans no one really understands while the person undergoes months or years of psychotherapy with no defined therapeutic, measurable endpoints. Fifty years of research has yielded only symptoms, no biologic basis, no cause, and certainly no cure. Is mental illness a disease or are issues of the heart and people relationships the core issues? Could sin be to blame?
