>However it's possibly my work will fall short of a publication due to time constraints and bad luck with the underlying biology in the case of this treatment.
Mf publish something. You're a PhD student, nobody expects you to revolutionize shit in your papers.

Psychiatric evaluation. Gotta pin down your position on the spectrum.
