The death by su***de by Nolan Williams is deeply tragic — a brilliant researcher who devoted his life to advancing our understanding of depression, su***de and addictions through psychedelics and transcranial magnetic stimulation.

His passing reminds us of a painful truth: knowing -including scientific knowledge does not make us immune from the weight of emotion. Feelings — despair, rage, fear — are powerful forces that can sometimes override reason and understanding.

But feelings are not permanent and mostly - to quote Victor Hugo: “Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.”

Between 1985 and 1992, I conducted several hundred SPECT scans on psychiatric patients, both adults and adolescents. What I found was striking: every single scan was abnormal.

This raises important questions.

Could it be that every child and adult I saw truly had an abnormal brain?

Or might there have been something else at play?

The debate continues: are SPECT scans a legitimate tool in understanding ADHD and mental illness, or are they closer to “snake oil”?

I’ll let you be the judge.
