Mr President, it is rare for the issue of rights and ethical standards to be brought up in a debate on mental health. Some people even view immoral behaviour as a symptom of modernity. However, that kind of lifestyle leads to disorders and inhibits personal development. A person is then driven by biological stimuli from the subcortex region of the brain that are not checked or controlled by the cortex, where the higher emotions are based.
In these individuals, the thought process and intelligence are governed by instincts which correspond to underdeveloped higher moral and aesthetic emotions and an inability to share social or patriotic bonds. In this way, disturbed personal and emotional development may affect not only individuals, but whole groups and communities. This goes hand in hand with a rise in psychopathic tendencies in society which further corrupt it, leading to an increase in mental disorders and a deterioration of the personality.
Another problem facing modern medicine, in relation to the treatment of mental disorders, is that symptomatic treatment merely eliminates the symptoms but fails to provide an effective cure."@en1
