Dr. Gaind, if I may, you said that we should not conflate two important terms, the “irremediable”, which is the test in Carter, and “treatment-resistant depression”. I'm trying to understand. I can't think of a scenario in which a purely mental condition could meet the criteria in Carter. You say we shouldn't conflate those two terms. Are there irremediable psychiatric conditions that you can suggest that would meet the test? Are there stand-alone psychiatric illnesses, not biophysical ones, that would meet the test of being irremediable?
