Do some emotional symptoms have a “physical” basis?
Many emotional symptoms in depression and anxiety disorders occur when the levels of certain brain neurotransmitters, such as serotonin or norepinephrine, drop below effective levels due to stress or other causes. Our modern day antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications help restore the natural balance of these neurotransmitters and are not addicting or habit forming.
