I mean, an alternative narrative.
So the most important thing is that anyone listening to this podcast, I want to validate your depression, your anxiety, your grief, your despair, your PTSD, whatever label you've been given.
I want to validate that that doesn't need to be validated with a disease label.
You're not diseased.
You're not a broken brain.
Your brain isn't defective.
You are going through something.
So you aren't something.
You aren't that.
You are going through something.
You're experiencing something and you're experiencing and you've coped in the only way that you could cope in that moment.
So it created this adverse response because it was an adverse situation and you were just trying to cope.
So what we have to do is go through a process of embracing and processing and reconceptualizing.
So the important thing here is to recognize that chemical imbalance isn't the cause of your despair.
The cause of your despair is what you've gone through and what you're going through and learning how to –
not knowing how to manage it and how to deal with those thoughts that are driving you crazy and those flashbacks and the trauma of the flashbacks and going back into those situations of the rape or the abuse or the war trauma or the... It will drive a person crazy.
And that's not crazy in the sense of illness.
It's crazy in the sense of your mind is like this erratic tidal wave around you and it's going through your brain and you've got these and your immune system and everything screaming out to you and saying, hey...
Let's fix this.
So a disease label invalidates it.
