My understanding is "yes" and that's coming from someone who has come from depression and a few other mental ailments.
Quite often I get told that my experience and what I have witnessed from my friends and family going through similar change of life situations, is that it's all anecdote.
We must simply wait until enough scientific studies that test "primal methods" such as dopamine management, exercise, etc, come out to support this theory.
Until then, trust the science and buy whatever new pill or method that will solve it.
As for me and my friends however, we have our cure, and we try to motivate others around us with mediocre success. (Who are you to question the ways of science? Dr says to take pills and I can keep eating my junk food..)
- avgcorrection 5y agoSometimes I’ve been lucky and just stumbled upon a solution to something. That works for me. And which turns out to not work for most other people. (Whatever the problem might be.) I would be careful about gloating about your success to those “pill-popping” “junk food eaters”… Even though it might feel great to get validation about your willpower or whatever.
