Article (Video) ~ Dr Chris talks about depression
Quote ~ “Let me just simply explain depression. Basically, your brain is drained of the chemicals that keep you in, a sort of, level mood, and one of those chemicals is called serotonin and when you drain your brain of serotonin then depression can creep up upon you. And the antidepressants that we use now push the levels of serotonin in your brain and put you back to normal. It's not unlike hormone replacement therapy, your body is running short of hormones so you take hormone replacement therapy to push those levels. ”
