Chemical Imbalance Theory
{"Image DocumentName": "Chemical Imbalance Theory", "Image ImageDescription": "Leader \u2013 Most psychiatrists. Man \u2013 product of brain chemicals. Problem \u2013 imbalance of brain chemicals. Responsibility \u2013 not man\u2019s. Guilt \u2013 medical problem. Treatment \u2013 give medication so person feels better. Counselor \u2013 medical doctor. Problems? Psychiatric medication is not treating a verifiable chemical imbalance in the brain. Contrary to public perception, psychiatric medications are not chemical bullets that target one particular brain chemical. They are more like chemical blitzkriegs, strafing chemical sites in the brain and hoping for the best. The brain is simply too complex and is sustained by too many chemicals for us to be able to pinpoint chemical imbalances with our current level of knowledge. The most we can reliably say is that psychiatric medication may minimize some symptoms, but it is not necessarily treating a chemical deficiency. \u2013 Ed Welch, Blame it on the Brain,", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
