Actually that is what I meant--that is, that "normal" is defined on the level of neurotransmitter action. It is like the little workpeople in our brain that regulate the brain say "hey, that's what my instructions (from the DNA) said--this IS how the brain should be--I'm only following instructions." And when you alter the balance of neurotransmitters, the little workmen work to readjust the system to again correclty meet the requirements as stated in the DNA--this to them then is the "normal" state.
