If we (the US medical profession) had treated mental issues (neurodivergence?) as seriously as those of the heart, lungs, etc., we might have known more about them many years earlier and been able to understand cures - or at least methods to deal with them.

Also agree that there is apparently a large segment of the population (US and worldwide?) that are lacking in empathy for people outside of their "tribe". Not all would be labeled psychopaths in general terms but I'll bet the ferocity against "outsiders" may be felt as if it were psychopathy.

(Getting way out of my depth now!)
