Understanding Emotional Disorders: A Brain Function Issue Emotional disorders, often misunderstood, stem from brain function issues. Dr. Chang highlights that these disorders are brain diseases triggered by genetic predispositions and accumulated stress. When stress reaches a critical point, brain chemicals like serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine become persistently imbalanced, leading to depression and anxiety disorders. Effective Treatment with Medication While talking to friends, exercising, and counseling can temporarily relieve stresses, they may not restore brain chemicals to optimal levels. Medication plays a crucial role in treating mood disorders by regulating these chemicals and aiding brain recovery. Dr. Chang advises patience, as medication takes time to show effects and initial discomfort is often due to anxiety itself. Seeking Professional Help Dr. Chang emphasizes the importance of correct treatment methods and seeking professional help to prevent conditions from worsening. Understanding and addressing emotional disorders early can prevent unnecessary suffering. For the full interview, please click here.
