Not sure I'd agree Freud was the greatest (and I'm being polite here), but I absolutely do agree with his suggestion that mental health problems will be explainable by physical causes one day - though some already are. There should not be segregation in treatment of physical and mental health problems. It does not make sense. Most ill health diagnoses have both physical and mental/psychological symptoms and (I am also predicting and have always said) all will have some form of physical/physiological/neurological cause - why arbitrarily assign some to the label of 'physical' and therefore 'normal' and others to the 'mental' category and therefore to be treated with stigma, shame and fear - and less support...??
