Fair enough. The main reason I commented (aside from a bet peeve about Ockham's Razor and other simplicity principles) is that while psychological problems can potentially stem from complexity, many more seem to stem from a lack of complexity. Individuals with profound autism (defined as needing 24/7 care for life and normally non-verbal or close to it and with an IQ below 50) typically have brains where their neurons, despite branching, tend not to extend far in their brains. So their brain is a network of mostly local connections rather than far reaching ones that extend into distant brain regions. While there may be just as many parts, that clearly seems to be a lack of complexity.
