“The distinction between diseases of "brain" and "mind," between "neurological" problems and "psychological" or "psychiatric" ones, is an unfortunate cultural inheritance that permeates society and medicine.

“Ever and again, our mind may become befuddled when we have to find out what is heads or tails.
