The psychiatrist asks a standard question. "Are you experiencing any suicidal thoughts?"
"Yes," I answer honestly.
"You know this is the decade of the brain. We are learning so much about neuroscience that we'll find a cure for mental illness within your lifetime. There's no reason not to be hopeful about the future."
Somehow, I doubt the cure--because I know how complicated it is to even tease out the separate biological factors from the environmental ones--much less addressing these individually--and finding an all-encompassing solution that comes in a pill or an injection.
