Studying a part and leaving the rest

Let's suppose you never saw a car before then one day you found a steering wheel in the middle of the desert. Will you ever be able to figure out what it is?

The short answer is no. You can't understand a single part without knowing some information about the structure it came from. The same exactly happens with emotions. Most people, including many experts, try to look at them independently from the person who feels them and this is why they never manage to understand them well.

What is depression? Imbalance in brain chemicals and that's it. It's the same as defining the steering wheel as round plastic shape without knowing what exactly it is or where it came from. Yes the description is correct but can never lead to the truth on its own.

The reason your emotions keep changing all the time

Steve was a very handsome young teen. He always believed he was special because of his extraordinary looks. Though he never started it directly a part inside him believed that he is way too special to be considered ordinary.

He spent great years during high school. He was that popular handsome guy everyone envied. Steve studied mechanical engineering and found a decent job but all of sudden he started feeling unhappy then became depressed. His doctor prescribed some medication but his condition never improved. In fact it worsened.

He had no clue what was going on because he always tried to examine depression independently from the rest of his life. What was happening behind the scenes is that his subconscious mind, which believed that he was special, found him doing an ordinary job like all the other ordinary people he knew.

His subconscious mind was longing for a job that makes him feel special just like he was during high school. Shortly after speaking to a an informed professional Steve quit his job and started to pursue a new career as an actor.

Within months his depression disappeared, his confidence came back and he started feeling happy once again.

How to understand your emotions

In my book, The ultimate guide to getting over depression i said that the sole purpose of emotions is to help you achieve your most important unconscious psychological goals. You worry when your subconscious mind believes that you might not reach those goals, you feel anxious when you believe you are not prepared to fulfill one of those important goals and you get depressed when you lose hope in reaching any of those important goals.

This is why medication never works alone and this is why so many people live with unwanted emotions for decades. The first step towards ending unwanted feelings is to know in the first place why is your mind creating them.

Once you understand the reason working on a soloution won't be hard.
So is depression an imbalance in brain chemicals?
Of course, but you won't be able to get over it before you understand why the hell your chemicals went out of balance.
