> My frustration is that for the most part, it is always blindly assumed that every single patient that presents with symptoms has a brain disease. Efforts are never made, pre-meds, during meds, or post-meds, to do some basic detective work to rule things in or rule things. If we were to rule out 70% of the most common underdiagnosed causes of depression...the ones I harp about frequently...then we would have much more certainty in saying this particular patient has a brain disease.
I agree.
