As TelmoMenezes said above, explaining mental illness entirely through neurological glitching is like explaining a software bug by claiming a circuit board wasn't soldered correctly.
Yes, there can be "hardware" causes, and yes, the "software" does run on the "hardware" as substrate, but the hardware is not a useful model of the software. Neurology is not necessarily an entirely useful model of an individual mind.
