> It’s possible that biological explanations lead clinicians to see the conditions as immutable. This an error in thinking about how the brain works, and unfortunate if true, regardless of what level of "clinician" it refers to. Perhaps both frameworks for understanding are equally valid, but the "psychosocial" explanation is several layers of abstraction above the "biological" one. As I've said before on the same topic [1]: 1) the brain is an organ that obeys physical laws 2) behavior and perception depend entirely on the brain 3) of course environment is important, but how is that represented in the brain? It's still physiological, which inevitably includes chemicals/biology/whatever you prefer to call it. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16445950 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16445950
