Stumbled Across

[nibbed]

Freud was intelligent, but he danced too much in darkness. Likely he had serious mommy issues, maybe she smacked him too hard during a thought-to-be warm moment, when he accidentally bit her with his first tooth. I believe sleep is a way we are forced to accept we are just puny mortals who are blessed with a reward of dreams, as we bow to an unavoidable weakness given to remind us of our place.

I'm not sure I'd chuck the entire field, especially considering that nearly every mental illness defined today has a measure of brain inflammation associated with it, in addition to measurable, repeatable changes in structure. So there is something there and that something appears to be connected to an inflammatory process of some kind in the brain. What triggers it is the question remaining unanswered. Is it autoimmune? Stress-induced? Dietary? Genetic? Epigenetic? Much left to unravel.

I agree! Inflammation is a huge factor to most illness.
I also believe spirituality affects many healing pathways.
