Science catches up with what we know in our bones


I am reading ‘Lost Connections’, a book about how disconnectedness is the major cause of depression; it’s so obvious that occasionally he lapses into tautological bad writing: 
‘... if disconnection  is the main driver of depression and anxiety, we need to find ways to reconnect’
Duh! Bad hack science stuff!- 
‘So I travelled thousands of miles interviewing anyone who might understand this’.
 Sincere, yes, needs to be said, yes, but kind of obvious.

Maybe science research and writing only chooses to look at the blindingly obvious! - scientifically proving  what is intuitively second nature. If it changes the establishment mind set, then, of course, it’s a very good thing. 
Science catches up with what we know in our bones but it takes its time. 
Intuition and common sense may not be foolproof but they are quicker
