Very much so. PET scans have shown that behaviour therapy can significally modify brain chemistry in the caudate nucleus as equal as SSRIs used for OCD.

Try to change you perception of life.Definately also... and probably would also change chemistry... our thoughts are direct neurons firing so its not out of this world to think that enough of one thought could have a change. This is not to say that serious disorders like bipolar and schizophrenia can be cured by merely "thinking away", but I think it has its role in less serious situations.
