I am still convinced however that in my case it is genetically and biologically caused. Same with my addictive personality and alcoholism. They go hand in hand. I also believe environmental factors played a role. What is encouraging is that it is known now that the brain is much more plastic and changes all the time. This means CBT behavior meditation exercise can change your brain.

I don't think they disregard genetics. Dbt was designed and works on merely the assumption of a bio social theory but she makes the distinction that she isn't saying it is proven or right. More hypothetical. The assumption works is all that matters to her. Rather interesting considering neuroplasticity.
"“But nobody has ever demonstrated that a shortage of serotonin was the cause of depression or any other illness,” Shorter says."
I equate this to consuming lots of sugar. You get addicted and there is a subtle high but there is certainly no shortage.
