“If mental illnesses are brain diseases, then they are diseases of the body, not of the mind. In which case psychiatrists would have to conduct themselves like other physicians. That is, inform the patient of their findings and recommendations, and then wait until he consents to or rejects further diagnostic or therapeutic interventions. Such limitation of the psychiatrist’s power, would render psychiatry, as we know it, useless.”
