Re: Depression/re-balancing brain chemicals

[Guest guest]

KC,

If he will investigate therapy and medication, his live could

substantially open up. Yes, it's one more doctor to see, but could be one of the

most important doctor's visits for him. I believe that some people have a

tendency to make less of, use too much of, or use up the brain chemicals that

help keep a stable mood. Modern medications help recalibrate and re-supply these

chemicals and/or their precursors.

I liken it to taking insulin for diabetes. People don't think twice about that.

They shouldn't think twice about taking a medication to improve their brain

chemical balance and their mood. After all, they aren't crazy any more that a

person with diabetes is crazy. Their brains just don't produce enough of the

necessary substances to keep them appropriately happy, sad, or angry. Most

times, you will have to undergo therapy to get these medications. That doesn't

mean you're crazy either. It can be a good reality check and actually prove to

you that you're a well-adjusted human being.
