🔹 Psychoanalysis should not be treated as sacred doctrine. Freud was a clever and influential thinker, but not a prophet.
🔹 Biological psychiatry is equally vulnerable to dogma. Not every symptom signals a disease, and not every distress warrants medication.
🔹 That said, evidence-based pharmacology has its place—especially when medications show clear, replicable benefits in defined clinical conditions.
The future of psychiatry lies in balanced thinking, not blind allegiance—to Freud, to biology, or to any single model of mind.
