Brain imaging in psychiatric epidemiology Can someone comment on why brain imaging is almost never involved in psychiatric epidemiology?

Perhaps because it's an expensive new technology? WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:02, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Major rewrite[edit]

Major rewrite. Added history of psychiatric epidemiology and provided extended information how studies are conducted with more examples. The article focused initially almost exclusively on criticism of epidemiology and psychiatry. We removed the concerns of epidemiological research section, because it applies to epidemiology and science in general (e.g. reliability and validity are very broad general topics). No sources for the sociological concern section were provided. It is unclear on what the information was based, whether it is speculative or well established and how much impact these concerns have and thus we also deleted this section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xedi (talk • contribs) 13:42, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
