On the brain disease model of mental illness: "This perspective leaves little room for the possibilities that apparent biological abnormalities might be the result of a mental disorder, a consequence of chronic psychotropic medication use (Leo & Cohen, 2003), confounded by affect-induced physiological changes during the biological
test (Whiteside, Port, Deacon, & Abramowitz, 2006), or reflect a vulnerability for developing a mental disorder without directly causing it (Caspi et al., 2003). Recently read this article and couldn't disagree more. Where exactly does the mind come from if not the brain?"
Can someone please explain where the mind comes from if not the brain and how a mental disorder causes a brain disorder and not the other way around?
