Because depression isn't a chemical imbalance.

Depression is coming from, it's a signal, it's a warning signal.

It's not an it.

It's not a chemical imbalance, an it causing a chemical, it's not a chemical imbalance in your brain.

It's not an it.

There's no research to back that up at all.

It is a response to an underlying cause.

And because it moves through your brain, your brain will respond with imbalances, chemical imbalances and neurotoxicity and all that kind of thing.

But it's different for every person.

In the book, Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess, I do show how...

I looked at things like inflammation, cortisol, DNA, and how when we don't manage our mind, those get worse.

But as soon as you manage your mind within nine weeks, you can change your telomere length, which means that you literally can increase your lifespan.

We had people that were so depressed at the beginning of the study.

And this is one in the book that they had been clinically diagnosed with depression.

And I'm holding up now for those of you that can't see, I'm holding up what I call QEEG head maps.

And it's just basically photographs.

It's QEEG image of inside the brain.

And there's three rows.

The top row is blue and the bottom two rows are gray.

Okay, so what that means is that looking inside a person who's very depressed, the energy in the brain, the energy response in the brain, the blood flow, all that kind of stuff, the blood flow, oxygen, et cetera, is very flat.
