Professor Rose is one of our leading contemporary social scientists. Currently he is Professor of Sociology and Head of the Department of Social Science, Health and Medicine at King's College, London. In the talk, Professor Rose characterises the 'territory' of mental illness today by posing five hard questions that seem to represent genuine empirical, conceptual, professional and ethical dilemmas. The questions are: Is there an 'epidemic' of mental disorder? Does the path to understanding mental disorder lie through the brain? What is the role of diagnosis and of diagnostic manuals? Should we seek early identification of those at risk of future mental pathology? What is the place of patients, users, survivors, consumers in the mental health system?
Two years ago, due to extreme emotional distress, i lost touch with reality.

Neurochemical interventions are very amenable to standardization. Never mind the intractable question of etiology. It's chicken and egg. I believe the new objective will be to shape and standardize neurology at the level of subject in order to render bodies more easily controlled by neurochemical intervention. To have a model that views pathology as an emergent phenomena is to venture into combinatorially explosive territory. What is hidden in that territory? Conflicting interests at a very fundamental level I suspect.
Is there an epidemic of stupid? Yes . How do you distinguish stupid from crazy? There is no physical pathology to mental disorders, if there is, it is then neurological disease. What is the role of diagnosis and of diagnostic manuals? With a diagnosis it is possible to give mercy to those who are suffering. To predict the future is to create the future, a true doctor has to wait for "disease" to concretely appear in a measurable way before "treating" it.
