I'm very surprised by the the simplemindedness of Dante here. There are 
some 'disorders' that were invented in the eighties, most of them in the 
US, just to stimulate the sales of valium and later prozac. Those can be 
cured with compassion or knitting shawls or harvesting the Celestine 
energies. A real psychopatholgy like bipolarity, MPS, or schizophrenia 
is uncurable by meditation or rituals, simply because the patient has 
lost control. It's like you 're in a care where the steering wheel has 
broken and the breaks don't work and some says that everything will be 
OK if you keep to the right side of the road and heed the traffic lights.
