[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 745975, member: 23349"] MAYBE - eventually. But I think we are a long way off from putting these treatments into practice or defining specific treatment protocols for different mental illnesses. As SWOT says, there are still no definitive tests for mental illness, and the categories we put people in based on the DSM are often imprecise, overlapping and disputed. The same behaviors may have completely different causes in different people, requiring different modes of treatment. As exciting as this sounds, we're probably years or decades away from practical use. A new medication takes about a decade to get through development, clinical trials and FDA approval. I would imagine something like this will take a similar path. I think Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and PSTD symptoms are probably easier to pinpoint in the brain than the vast catalog of other mental illnesses. It IS exciting to think about though - maybe someday we'll have the answers! [/QUOTE]
