I think the problem is we still know very little about the human brain and how the mind works. They can't even agree on the complete set of functions and purposes of sleep; no one really knows yet. Then we get to depression and other mental disorders. There is no surgical procedure, no immunization, no highly effective drug treatment. We are still learning about this realm of human health and biology.
