Yep, that's it exactly though, there's no true 'disease', it's just a 
different set of reactions and whatever, and if you want to change 
that, you can complete the feedback circuits however you can to 
eliminate or change those statuses, right? I don't think it matters the 
physical reality of the situation. I wonder if Szaz was working off of 
a "the mind is brain + soul"-thought stuff.
