There are ways to help ourselves despite our childhood. Choices we make now, self care, meaning. Working through past traumas and neglect and finding different ways of responding. Brains are changed by trauma, but they are also plastic and we have more influence on it than Big Pharma would like us to realize. Even for psychosis. Body mind, environment and genes all go together and each one of us is unique
People with type 1 diabetes cannot come off insulin.

People with type 2 diabetes are not on insulin they take metformin, occasionally they can stop taking the pills if they lose weight and eat healthily. Do you really think diabetes is not a chemical imbalance?

We are made of chemicals, fact.
Thanks for this!
