As a psychologist, I couldn't agree more about the myth of the chemical imbalance of Serotonin. For years, even prior to Dr. B, I have advocated for the role of nutrition, how we care, how we guard the gates of our mind, how we play, how we go out into the world each day. From some of Dr. Perlmutter's work and others, there seems to be a role of inflammation and viewing depression as a function of inflammation - systemically and like Dr. Berkson said, in the gut. I really appreciate the author admitting that his world "was turned upside down" with a willingness to consider other factors. Learning to work with stress, what life hands us, and dealing with rumination are keys to cultivating emotional management and well-being. Great article and thank you as always for posting such uplifting and educational content.
I love that. i think in today's world we too easily get molded by media to think a good life is having so much stuff and looking so young and perfect and we do not have a comfy relationship with that which "isn't" or difficulty and rather than expect that as part of an even healthy life, we get tamped down by it. You are such a balanced person and i can feel how much you have worked on all your parts and I appreciate your extraordinary outlook and generosity on all levels. we need more like you. and so glad you are doing what you do. thanks for contributing comments!
