Oh no, Paula. I am in complete agreement with you on the patient perspective that is missing. I just think in looking beyond dopamine, there is progress. No matter the type of treatment, there is a huge, gaping void in the involvement of patient perspectives. Heck, but then again I think that if they would have started a huge database of all of us giving complete medical histories, our life stories, all our demographics and then some, they would have been able to run checks for patterns and narrowed down environmental culprits, at the very least by now. That is something crude, basic, and simple that may have yielded important clues.
