You have to keep in mind that the vast majority of psych-related clinicians are average to below-average performers that were too incompetent to become real doctors. That would explain why your "doctor" doesn't understand anything taught in a basic undergrad neuroscience survey course.
It's like expecting an auto mechanic to design a new car engine - sure, they could try their best, but at the end of the day, they're still an auto mechanic, not an engineer.
- amelius 10y agoWell, I suspect doctors still get paid more than the average medical researcher :) And that researcher is not accessible to the general public. The strange thing is that we now see people on the internet fora doing the metabolic/neurochemistry research themselves, for lack of better options.
