No, I am always responsible for my actions. That's not what I am saying. I am 100% responsible for my behavior, even w/ an imbalance. And I'm not saying that we can't learn to control those behaviors. But what I am saying is that the mind is different than the brain. The brain is the cells, neurons, and the chemicals our bodies produce, but the mind is the experiences that we experience. One can be helped w/ meds (w/o meds, I would probably be dead), and one can be controlled through therapy.

Let me put it this way: if your brain (physical part) is producing a certain chemical way more than it should, then other cells will produce other things to level that they shouldn't have. Much like a diabetic's pancreas under produces insulin b/c other cells say that is enough, they can't take in any more sugar, so their bodies stop producing insulin. So, I believe our brains are the same way. We start over producing some things, and under producing others.

I'm bipolar, and my T and pdoc think I have bpd. Meds help me.

I'm no biologist. I'm a computer geek.
