I began reading this and then looked at how long the thread goes,im wondering if the writer or anyone can tell me is he aganist medication period,or forced upon schzo patients?
I see he wrote there is no proof of any chemical imbalances that are consistent.
Well i read and have saved tons of studies done at universaties where serum fluids of depressed-non depressed are matched,and they are almost always notable differences,the only misleading thing is to say there is one,there is a LOT.
The ratio of excitaory amninos in genral,to inhibitory ones in depressed brains are almost always off,certain ones tend to show and abundance,and there is more activity,electrical current in certain areas of the brains,as if certain parts are heating up.
I believe for certain true clinical emotional disorders,albeit anxiety,depression,etc are a pyshical disruption of some sort,absolutly,and its tiring to see people who dont not suffer from it respond the same,if u dont suffer from it then of course it would seem easy to overcome it with all the crap that is laid on the table,all the techniques,thinking strategies etc.
I believe we dont know what is the cause or a have a clear definatition,and its likly the things we can see the imbalances for example might be the end result of whats happening.
But to disregard the theory that its a pyhsical disease,has as little proof as proving otherwise.
We simply dont know,unfortunatly for us.
And professional evalutoion,im sick of hearing leave it to the professionals too,unless your a nurologist who is taking eeg scans of my brain,or an mri,or the like,then you are in no better situation than i,which is to search for documentation,they use a PDR,i use google,but hardly any thing scientififc goes on inside a p-docs office while prescriping.
