Mental Illness and the Mind-Body Problem

Posted on: 11/19/2008 14:53

Dr. Szasz seemed unimpressed by recent MRI and PET data indicating physical brain disorder in schizophrenic and manic-depressive states, apparently because the tests lack sufficient specificity. However, if schizophrenia were eventually proven to arise from some kind of neurological defect, Szasz admitted that this would not change his view of mental illness. Part of his reason appears to be that having a physical disease (which category would then include schizophrenia) should not absolve one of responsibility for one’s actions.
