title: The need for specialists in biologically-based brain diseases.
abstract: Because neuroscience research has documented that mental illnesses are biologically-based brain diseases, our country should start training programs to create BBBD specialists. The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill has proposed a 2-track training system for psychiatric professionals--(1) A BBBD track and (2) a "mental health" track.
