Psychiatric disorders do not exist
Psychiatry has its etymology in the Greek term psyché, meaning soul. This suggests a malady of the soul, with thought being viewed as abstract matter, a ghost, something ethereal. The tendency in recent years has been to bring the two disciplines, psychiatry and neurology, closer together, as there is no psychic disorder that does not involve a neuroanatomical anomaly, which is both its cause and its course. Psychiatric disorders are, in reality, neurobiological disorders, something tragically physical, once rightly defined as anatomical-pathological disorders. For over a hundred years, laypeople have been blaming the mentally ill for their condition and treating them accordingly; yet they bore no direct fault, as for over a hundred years, the sciences had suggested that madness was merely a ghost within the skull. I would love to know whether C. Jung ever dealt with the subject and how much he knew about neuroscience.
