This seems like it could be a good discussion, but I wonder if it will just become a struggle over definitions. (Like "All psychiatric behaviors are brain behaviors.") I would argue the better question is "How is it useful to consider psychiatric disorders as brain disorders?"
Could get spicy if someone brings in the "neurodiverse" views, and when they are considered disorders. (Is it only a disorder if we have a known cause and/or treatment?)

@wikicliff
Thatโ€™s fair. Progress can happen via reconciling definitions (but itโ€™s a bit boring).

My read is that thereโ€™s more going on here. Especially with regard to the most promising investment in bio/psycho/social research going forward. By my count, there are 5ish clusters of positions in a high-D space. I encourage anyone so inclined to join in and decide with which cluster they best fit!
