Clearly there are many factors at play, and the biological one is a big one. The thing is, people who accept the biological cause theory also accept that the environment plays a role, but the reverse is not always true as we can see here.

I don't think the chemistry MATTERS all that much.
And as for drugs? Some of them are no more effective then placebo. And well... they "work" because they ARE mindaltering subtances, hence alter how you feel. Sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.
If it works for you great... but it makes me sad to see how people flock and dismiss power of their own mind and trust some damn pills more than they trust themselves.
Yes, we are biological beings. In fact all feelings could be broken down to chemistry and neurons. But god save us from the day they start selling love and anti-love pills.

Brains are chemical and electrical organs. Chemicals and electricity and magnets will effect them. What's so difficult to get? It's why we shouldn't take other peoples scripts- pills do something!

doooh... but it's not positive always.
Also... since food is "chemical" it does things too
Renner... I really don!t think your friend meant harm. Maybe you should try to talk it calmly with him (if it's not something they heart on TV in 3 minute report, eh).
