Hi Eric.
> Mental illness research is a joke.
How so?
> Sure, big headway has been made in the past fifteen years or so...
These two statements seem quite contradictory to me.
> ...but much is left to be desired.
I would say, "but much is left to do".
What precisely do you feel the medical research community is doing wrong?
What do you feel they are doing right?
What specific changes would you recommend?
> Look at how many treatment resistant folks are out there!
Now that you mention it, I have noticed a few.
> Very little research is going on to target the treatment resistant community.
Are you sure?
I used the following keyword statement to perform a search on Medline:
("treatment resistant" OR trd) AND (depression or bipolar)
Results: 327 hits
I guess everything is relative. How would you characterize the number 327?
