Science and our understanding of it has developed tenfold, and we've barely scratched the surface of all the knowledge the world has to offer. Scientists have often proven their own hypotheses to be false; many a hopeful science fair participant has gone through the same process. The likelihood of such a theory remaining timeless is slim to none. Nowadays, it is regarded as oversimplified by most professionals and evidence of one of the problems found in biological psychiatry; they take even the most complex structures and simplify them. Many say that the field has gone completely overboard. Others supply that the method doesn't explain the process. Better, improved models are being developed at the moment, the gut microbiome, to be more precise. Hopefully this will rectify the mistake that has been promoted to the public for years now and influenced the outsider's perspective of mental
