Abstract
SUMMARYPsychiatry intertwines mind and brain, sometimes in a strained marriage. Psychiatrists feel the criticism of a ‘narrow’ biological or medical (and medication) focus, and we are very aware of the limitations of all treatments and diagnostic systems. Many understandably move towards a more social approach, seeing individuals in their wider lives. But there are dangers in losing the brain, something unique to our specialty in the world of mental health. This reflective piece calls for us to rediscover the joy of the science of the brain, which augments, not conflicts with, psychosocial approaches.
