In reply to WHY are we all so 'chemically challenged'?, posted by BarbaraCat on January 6, 2002, at 0:16:07
> I know we're an imperfect species, we've had miserable childhoods for the most part, our aymgdalas are bonked out and there are many reasons for not feeling great, but have you all noticed how many of us suffer from depression -- 'chemical imbalances'? Any ideas why this might be? I've been exploring and researching everything from micoplasma infection (who knows, those chemtrails we've been spotting overhead are spraying something!) to substance P overload in the CS fluid to every thing I can get my hands on. I also have fibromyalgia along with severe depression and when I get depressed it's a TOTAL body thing. I hurt all over, every cell aches, I'm tired and I'm in deep despair. Yes, I take meds and it helps sometimes and sometimes not. But it makes me wonder -- what's going on? Why are we so sick? Any takers on this question of the ages?
The psychiatrists dont really know whats wrong with us. The whole problem here is we suffer from serious brain based illnesses, which are in fact neurological problems basically. But instead are oftentimes treated like mere "emotional" problems by the mental health field. Its BS.Until the mental health field is formally handed over the Neurology field lock, stock and barrel someday, we "mental patients" will continue to be treated like second class citizens.
