I belive that the brain chemical called actycholine controls the emotion of depression.Lithium and SSRI drugs inhibit the rellease of this brain chemical and it is known that high levels of actycholine are associated with depression and low levls with mania.The left amygdala and the right forebrain fire away like mad when a person is depressed.Depression is not like of brain activity just the wrong kind.The left amygdala fires away when one meditates.SSRI drugs inhibit the release of dopamine and noreheprine .How would that stop depression?Serotonin inhibts brain cell fireing .Xanax helps depression .Why?
