I'd never heard of it, but I just watched some of it on YouTube. One thing I disagree with is its contention that the diagnosis of mental illness is all subjective -- it can't be seen with any of the tools we now have. EEG is one tool (that's rarely used, sadly) that can see and treat depression.

As MRIs become more sophisticated, it's likely that they will be used more frequently to diagnose and treat depression, PTSD, anxiety, maybe even schizophrenia.
