Just because an individual does not conform to societies standards does not in any way mean that this person is needing of treatment. Treatment should only be administered when someone’s life is threatened or if someone acknowledges that their quality of life is low. In any other cases the individual should be consulted on whether or not they want to receive treatment. Treatment should never be a way of changing who someone is to make life more convenient for anyone but themselves. When treatment borders on changing who a person is at the core, a grey area on whether or not this is ethical appears. The willingness of someone to accept tampering with the brain depends on the way they believe the brain and mind correspond. Before brain control is considered factors of the individual’s life such as relationships, history, and emotional trauma should be evaluated. Most behavioral difficulties can be rooted in more than chemical imbalances, and brain control should not always be our first
