Would be interesting to map the other Big 5 to biochemistry.

There was an article about lobotomy in a magazine I read the other day. There was this line: “Its goal wasn’t so much healing the patients, but controlling their behavior and emotions. It was as if a thick blanket was put on top of their symptoms.”

Though the ways of modern psychiatry aren’t as straight-up barbaric as then, it’s still operating from the very same principles; e.g. how is the SSRI phenomenon any different from what the quote said about lobotomy’s primal intention?

It’s still all about suppressing the symptoms, only now by meddling with the patient’s neurotransmitters with medication. Psychiatrists are still openly clueless about what these phenomena are caused by, yet they can prescribe these largely ineffective, side effect-loaded drugs.
