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
Of course. And the reason Tylenol relieves headaches is these people’s brain fails to produce the correct amount of Tylenol.
Before calling me ignorant, did you stop for even one second to consider that maybe depression causes there to be less serotonin, rather than being caused by it?
If I get angry, don’t you think that releases different neurotransmitters in my brain? So am I angry because of the neurotransmitters, or because I stubbed my toe?
I’m trying to help my fellow jews, and prevent them from wasting time and money with charlatans instead of going for real therapy.
