Depends on what you mean by “merge”. Because I absolutely agree that psychiatrists should study those topics, probably more than they do now. But I don’t want to “merge” them. E.g., I think it is possible that there are neurologists who don’t specialize in psychiatry, and vice-versa, even though psychiatrists should probably have some neurological background knowledge. Doubly so for philosophy. E.g., a philosopher who specializes in the philosophy of science is not necessarily more qualified to talk about psychiatry than anyone else. But it would definitely be cool for all of these people to adopt an interdisciplinary approach, which is systemically discouraged by capitalist academia.
i think merge into neurology phylosofy
focus on chemical problems but not psychological difference from “normal”
