How can gut imbalances cause anxiety and depression?
What causes depression? Most doctors say that it is not caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. However, I find it strange that antidepressants allow us to use the serotonin produced in the brain for a longer period of time, and we start to feel bad when they are not there. Doesn't this mean that we cannot use serotonin sufficiently? Wouldn't not using serotonin well enough indicate a chemical imbalance? Can those who have knowledge on this subject enlighten me?
