My doctor said that anxiety and
depressive disorders are caused by a biological problem or chemical
imbalance problem in the brain? He also said that this biological
or chemical imbalance problem is genetically caused. Is this
true?
No, this is not true. Anxiety and depressive disorders are NOT
caused by a biological problem with the brain, a “chemical
imbalance” in the brain, or by a genetic predisposition.
While many in the medical, mental health, and science communities
believe this to be true, these notions never were proven. In
fact, recent research is finding that these notions are proving
false.
