The scien(not)tology snake bites it's tail, tautology and all. The scan research is not tied to the ada diagnostic manual and your remarks are thus irrelevant. The point was that abnormal brain process can be observed. Lrh would have had an interesting scan, no?

Ah, I smell scientology here. With the advent of modern scanning technology the differing brain patterns of folk with various mental illnesses can be observed, contrary to one claim on the original post.
This is misleading. Scans can show differences in many people, whether labelled with a "mental illness" or not. But no disorder, as defined by the APA's DSM IV, has been shown to be due to a brain abnormality. To claim that mental disorders are medical in nature is faith, not science.
