The psychiatrist in the machine [Update]

Summary form only given. Psychiatrists make life-altering decisions on the basis of a subjective assessment of a set of symptoms. But many freely admit they have far too little information to answer some critical questions. The paper mentions that software rivals doctors at distinguishing among different kinds of depression and schizophrenia. Psychiatrists want to diagnose patients based on their physiology rather than subjective symptoms. MRI Images of the brain and the electroencephalographic signals that emanate from it could be key to picking the right treatments for depression and schizophrenia.
