Popa I did not prove your point, I proved mine. First, before you feel any effect, there has to be some sort of biological change that will trigger the nerves and therefore make you feel something. First the cut, which is biological and physical, then the pain follows. Likewise with depression, first there would likely be a biological imbalance, and then the effect follows – the symptoms of depression. I also hope you do realize while we are talking about this that clinical depression is very different from simply feeling down about something happening. Clinical depression must go on for a certain amount of time and there are various other things that are looked for. That is why not everyone will become depressed. Some people may have a genetic predisposition to it, again indicating a biological cause.
As to your headache comment – what do you think causes headaches? It’s not lack of tylenol, but it is most certainly some sort of chemical, biological change that occurs. The following is quoted from a September 2013 updated article from medicalnewstoday.com:
“Experts today believe that a change in certain brain chemicals may be the main factors that contribute to tension headaches. These chemicals are the ones that help nerves communicate, such as serotonin, endorphins, and several others. We are not sure why the levels of these chemicals change. We suspect that the fluctuations activate pain pathways to the brain and probably undermine our ability to suppress pain.”
I think I have figured out your problem Popa, and it is something many people don’t know, which is that everything that we feel, all sensation, eventually leads back to the spinal chord and up to the brain, and the brain is ALL PHYSICAL. It is hard to imagine that everything that we feel every day is actually the result of chemicals passing messages back and forth, but it is true. If you can understand that, then I don’t think you would have much of a problem anymore. Again, there are no mysterious “boogie” forces going around our brain. It is all electro-chemical, biological, and therefore PHYSICAL.
