It’s basically an academic disagreement between two schools of thought. The behaviorist like models in psychology can be at odds with the biochemical imbalance model of psychiatry.
Studies like this help expand treatment options since the biochemical imbalance theory has gained significant popularity and awareness in recent years. Not everyone struggling has a chemical imbalance and not all mental illnesses are caused from trauma. Some have both. Nuance is king with sort of issue
Full agreement. I seem to have biochemical and trauma based issues myself. I can’t medicate the pain away, but my adhd requires a holistic, chemicals included, response.
I’m glad you’ve found an approach that’s working for you! It can be very difficult navigating treatment plans when there are strong voices in academia conflicting with each other, or being too heavy handed in one direction or the other.
I am wishing you all the best and hope your treatment plan continues to improve your life :)
