To the question of the paradigm shift of psychiatry

Abstract

The main problem of psychiatry is that, having gained huge empirical experience in observing psychopathology, it has not become a full-fledged science. Perhaps this happened because Western medicine followed a path different from Eastern medicine the path of deep study of private pro-phenomena of diseases and the search for their natural causes. However, huge problems lie along this path the multifactorial impact of the external environment and the limited knowledge of man. As a result, a paradoxical state of affairs was created in psychiatrics and psychology: not a single objective method of research was created that allows you to diagnose mental illness due to the fact that there is still no one's idea of how the brain performs its main function to think. That is, the reasons for psychiatry's failures lie in the deep crisis of neurophysiology.
