Bipolar disorder

There is currently a section on bipolar disorder as a disease of the CNS. I see three problems with this as it stands, and my recommendation is deletion of the entire section. However if there's a better way to write it, I'd also be happy to see it stay. The problems I see are these:

1. It says bipolar is a 'serious illness of the nervous system'. However this article is about diseases, not illnesses (they are not strict synonyms), and the CNS doesn't become ill - it is people, not their brains, that become ill.
2. The reference given to the NIMH page on bipolar disorder nowhere supports the claim that this bipolar is a disease of the CNS. (It is contentious to claim that all mental illnesses are ipso facto caused by diseases of the CNS. Also, we use the terms 'mental illness' and 'brain disease' in different ways, hence the apt focus in this article on conditions like Alzheimer's etc rather than PTSD. And even if brain changes were shown in bipolar, this wouldn't show disease - since they could be effects rather than causes of the condition.)
3. The second sentence has it that 'New research suggests that bipolar disorder is actually a neurological disease genetically related to Parkinson's disease'. However all the article linked to here suggests is that some people with bipolar also have Parkinson's. Of course they do; enough people have either for there to be some unfortunate enough to have both. The article does not demonstrate that the cross-over is significant, and doesn't demonstrate shared neuropathology. If nobody objects I will delete the section when I return to it in a few months. 2.27.243.132 (talk) 10:46, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Nobody objected so I deleted it for the above reasons. RGipps (talk) 11:23, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Depression

Depression is here listed as a CNS disease. No evidence is provided. We currently distinguish between mental illnesses and CNS diseases. Or, to put it more accurately, the ascription conditions for each are different - which doesn't mean that their objects can't sometimes be the same. I suggest this section is removed, and will do so in a few months if nobody objects or rewrites to provide the evidence that such brain changes as are found with in unmedicated depression are primary causes rather than secondary effects of the illness.2.27.243.132 (talk) 10:54, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

I deleted this entry for the reasons given above. RGipps (talk) 11:25, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
