The Four False Pillars of Biopsychiatry challenges the research used to justify a biological model for mental illness, with special emphasis on the condition referred as schizophrenia. Each pillar will be examined using current research that is used to falsely justify the medical model of mental illness. The four false pillars are as follows: False Pillar #1: The Inheritance Pillar: Mental illness runs in families; therefore, mental illness must be inherited. False Pillar #2: The Chemical Imbalance Pillar: Medication works by correcting a chemical imbalance; therefore, mental illness must be a disease. False Pillar #3: The Defective Gene Pillar: Defective genes have been found for some disorders; therefore, mental illness must be a genetic disorder. False Pillar #4: The Brain-Imaging Pillar: Evidence of a “diseased” brain can be detected using modern brain-imaging instruments.
