If you've been
told by a health professional that you are depressed because of
a chemical imbalance within your brain, then you've been misled.
Imbalances have never been proven to cause depression and here's
why this theory is seriously flawed.
Perhaps the biggest flaw with attributing the cause of
depressive illnesses to chemical imbalances is one of order. The
question is: What comes first, imbalances or emotional turmoil?
If we look at somebody who has just been told of the unexpected
death of a loved one and who enters into depression, we can see
that it isn't chemical imbalances that came first, it is the sad
news that triggered the depression. If there are chemical
imbalances, then you can clearly see they come AFTER the news
and are therefore a SINGLE symptom.
What exactly is the nature of a chemical imbalance? If you eat
too much sugar, do you experience an imbalance? How about
chocolate? Smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol - will these
create imbalances? And what if you land the job you've always
wanted - will the resulting joy cause a chemical imbalance?
If you listen to health professionals, imbalances are the cause
of depressive illnesses. But is this a one-way street? I mean,
if imbalances make us unhappy, do they then by extension make us
happy? For example, if I get a raise at work because I've worked
really hard and my efforts have been rewarded, does the
resulting feeling of elation occur because of an imbalance? And
does this then mean that if I'm neither happy or unhappy, that
my chemicals are balanced? I very much doubt it.
What's interesting to note is what happens to a sufferer once
the antidepressants have corrected the imbalance. If they stop
taking the drugs, will the imbalance occur again? If so, is it
because of the drugs or is it because there is something else
causing the depression? There has to be, surely. Otherwise the
drugs are not addressing the root cause. And if someone who is
grieving for a loved one takes an antidepressant, will this stop
the grieving process? I contest not because it isn't imbalances
that are causing the grieving and the sadness.
The chemical imbalance theory is too simple, too general, and
has no evidence whatsoever to support it as being the cause of
stress, depression or anxiety. The cause lies well away from
this theory and is to be found in flawed, harmful modes of
thinking that can be addressed very effectively and naturally
without interfering with the delicate chemical levels within the
brain.
