Viewing mental health problems as a biological disease of the brain—inevitable, incurable, genetic—is not only wrong on scientific grounds, but neglects the experiences of the best authorities on people’s mental health: themselves.
I see this “use random drugs until one clicks even if you don’t actually need it” approach mostly as a way for maximum profits while not developing better, more efficient treatments which would require greater investments likely, undermining profits… Capitalism at its best. Last I read psychiatry is one of the most well paying health related professions…
Likely most? Besides I suspect most of these performed scans have no real insights but they will continue diagnosing random mental illnesses and drugs that have horrible side effects anyway.
That is just what I think. I would need to read more scientific literature on the subject…

Yeah many do not perform brain scans or medical measurements before prescribing medications…
