Pills are for the symptoms, not for the causes. The same holds for depressions and anxiety disorders.
Cognitive-behavior therapy is the way to re-train, re-program, unlearn a wrong habit.
There are sub-conscious habits, of course, which we cannot "see" without a training.

- jamesbritt 14y agoHow is a neurochemical imbalance a wrong habit?
- dschiptsov 14y agoIt is an effect, usually of flawed behavior. It is not hard-wired or even inherited. One might have some genetic predisposition, say, a sensitive Amigdala or whatever it is, but even then it is possible to behave in such way that you will keep the level of arousal very low. It doesn't mean you will not get aroused quickly, it means you will not stay in a permanent overload of stress hormones, but return to a calm and relaxed state very quickly. Unless you have any organic damages or trauma or infection, your mental states and habitual emotional patterns could be successfully altered.
- jamesbritt 14y agoIt is an effect, usually of flawed behavior. I'd love to see some peer-reviewed citations on this because, honestly, it sounds like New Age wishful bullshit.
- dschiptsov 14y agoActually, it comes from very old ages. Is there any peer-review of Tibetan medicine?)
