> Think of someone who is in a drunken stupor. The biology behind this condition is entirely neurochemical and occurs in the brain. Why should an imbalance in depression be thought of as being any different from the neurochemical imbalance created by the presence of alcohol in brain tissues?If we remove the alcohol, the symptoms resolve.
If we reset the neurotransmitters, the symptoms resolve.
If we remove the "other" neurotoxin that is causing similar effect as alcohol, and is actually a cousin derivative of alcohol (candida and bacterial waste products), symptoms resolve.
The problem is, we don't know which is which, except the alcohol of course.
My point was that a not uncommon story with patients with long protracted refractory psych and cognitive issues is that they saw their depression and brain fog symptoms resolve when "other" diseases were treated instead, sometimes blindly on just a hunch.
Not unlike every psych prescription we fill...a hunch.
