More great news to follow as a recent report has revealed that mental illness or problems like schizophrenia and depression could be easily diagnosed by plugging some electrode into the person's ear ......

It is sad there is still such a stigma around the mentally ill. They really need help too. It is not their fault they were born that way just like anyone who is born with a health problem. Thank you Fat

This is great if it turns out to be useful. Mental illness is so hard to diagnose and if diagnosed early it can lead to a person living a much better life. Mental illness only gets worst with age, left undiagnosed it can be divastating not only to the mentally ill person but to their family as well.

I don't see how it could be a solution, but I can see it might be very helpful in diagnosing mental problems earlier than most tests & less invasively, with less constraints.. I'm thinking earlier autism screening, etc.
