Brain Lady quote from the other day

[substitute]

"It isn't all biochemistry, but it all starts there. Everyone forgets the organic cause. Right there in the DSM-IV it says 'Having eliminated any organic cause', but no one reads that!"

Can you contextualize this quote? I don't quite get it.

She was referring to people who have organic diseases that are affecting their behavior who are immediately put in psychotherapy and under medical care for psychiatric problems without proper screening, so that underlying medical problems remain undiagnosed and untreated.

Excellent point, your brain lady makes. The more you post about brain lady, the more she sounds like one swingin' cat.

Sounds like something right up my alley. Would you mind terribly if I went ahead and added you to my friends-list? - Being new to LJ and all...
