Yup.  And I also am very much aware that it has been guilty of misinformtion 
in the past.  There is another set of initials which is more grounded in the 
physical end of mental ILLNESS and is much more accurate.  There are, I 
believe, a total of 4 initials in that name, but since I don't have it in 
front of me, cannot say for certainty.
I have also seen the publications from both outfits over the years.

So what?  This sounds vaguely reminisent of studies done for other conditions 
in the brain.  What is the causation?  Can it be affected by anything other 
than drugs?  And is it present in other diagnosed conditions also?
We are in an era where vagueness just won't cut it any longer.

The entire system of "mental health" is a pyramid of insanity it itself at 
times.  And appointment by one idiot for another idiot doesn't mean sicum if 
both idiots are coming from a premise that doesn't hold water.

That one was apparently shut down yesterday as I got a message that it either 
wasn't on line or not responding on Sunday.  I will try again today and see 
what happens.  I will also try finding it through a web searcher.

Not if I cannot get it online, I won't.
