are you yelling at me?
was it something i said?
;-)> Sure. And these are biochemical reactions in the brain....BUT AFTER A SHORT WHILE THE BIOCHEMISTRY AFFECTED BY SUCH 'ANGER'ETC RETURNS TO IT'S NORMAL 'POSITION' FOR WANT OF A BETTER WORD. SAME WITH SOMATIC CHANGES. THEY RETURN AND DO NOT LEAVE A 'SCAR' AS IN A PSYCHIATRIC ILLNESS.
so you think biochemistry is the *only* factor involved in mental illness?
*all* mental illness or just yours?
you don't think the structure of neural connections might have something to do with it as well?
you don't think your experience in the world changes your neural connections?
you don't think talking / thinking things through counts as an experience in the world and thus has the power to change your neural connections?> THEY TEMPORARILY ALTER NEURAL PATHWAYS, AND THEN THE NT IS RETURNED TO ITS PRIOR ACTION POTENTIAL RATE ACROSS THE SYNAPSE.
here you are talking about the firing of neurons.
i was talking about the connections between neurons.
they are altered by experience...
> PSYCHIATRIC ILLNESSESS LEAVE A SCAR WHERE NT IS PERMANENTLY ALTERED -- FOR THE WORSE AS EXPERIENCED BY THE SUBJECT.so you are determined that you have a chronic illness that can only be masked by medication?
well... if you keep telling yourself that...
it just might become true for you...good luck to ya
