(sigh) Yet another writer who thinks that altering human neurochemistry is not only beneficial over all but a great way to improve things.

I will also note that if we required that psychiatric diagnoses be based on scientific research and empirical evidence, virtually all of them would have to be abandoned. Whether you think that's a liability or a benefit depends, among other things, on the importance you put on rationality.
