Popa, you really are a completely ignorant person. If you knew anything about neuropsychology, you would know that there are MANY psychological disorders that have biological bases, depression included. Depression is most often treated with SSRI’s – Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitor. These inhibit the “feel good” neurotransmitter in the brain, serotonin, from being re-absorbed, thus in layman’s terms, leaving more of it out in the brain to help the person feel good. The reason these work is because often people with depression either fail to produce the correct amounts of these neurotransmitters. And of course, CBT has also been shown empirically to help because as the people change their thought patterns (the cognitive part in CBT), they can produce more.
This is all said in layman’s terms for the uneducated people, like Popa. I’m done lecturing here. Popa, please stop shooting your mouth off and discouraging another person, a fellow Jew I might add, from seeking the help that he or his loved ones require. Go find somewhere else to get your kicks.
