I went to Bar to see French Toast and Bloodthirsty Lovers tonight with my girlfriend and some of her friends from the political science department. It was a pretty awesome show (French Toast is great live) and good a way to procrastinate a little bit. 
I'm supposed to be writing a response to two research articles that discuss the neurological bases of schizophrenia, but I really have nothing particularly insightful to say about them at the moment. Not that the articles aren't interesting- I think that research into the biological bases of psychological conditions is actually fascinating. I'm just not feeling particularly inspired right now. Bleh.
On an unrelated note. I had a dream last night in which Dick Cheney became the president of the United States after George Bush died of a heart attack. It was one of the more vivid and lifelike dreams that I have had recently. I actually checked the news when I woke up to make sure that I had only dreamt it.
Also. Goddamn Yankees.

Let me know if you want any help with the schizophrenia articles, I've been subjected to an endless barrage of data about that particular topic so maybe I can be of some assistance.
As for your comment, that's exactly my question. If in destigmatizing psychiatric disease we're actually helping to create a new problem that wasn't there already (or just lend a false legitimacy to a preexisting problem that was being blown off before.) Still, I think treating sick people should take priority. EVen if some of the side effects of that treatment are unpalatable.
