Doo, I think you are right on target with the business-aspect. I believe in *some* type of neurotransitter imbalance-but
1) I think it is more complicated than pdocs and especially pharmaceutical companies would lead you to believe (at least in many cases)
2) Drug companies paint everything that is new that comes out of the hatch as a miracle with no side effects. It is interesting that whenever a new drug comes out how rapidly the adverse event reports start to proliferate.
3) Older medications that are now available as generics and are cheaper (I wish I had a Canadian RX plan:))can be just as useful as the newer stuff.
> I don't buy that 'neurotransmitters imbalance' theory anyway. It's not completely false, but it's so business-related! I think the biological aspect of disorders is more of a structural nature, structural in terms of development, in the childhood, of how we relate to environment. What is adaptative in childhood becomes pathological in the adult world. Massive repression of emotions (limbic system) is probably the central point here. If one does not have access to his/her emotions, how can he/she have a sane identity?
