OUTSIDE HELP: ‘TRADITIONAL’ HEALING THERAPIESMood Alteration“Conventional physicians generally have no answers to such questions. We are slipshod allopaths, dumping unnatural chemicals into or onto the body, but ignoring, or subverting, Nature’s healings powers. We treat symptoms, but are too lazy to get down to Root Causes, calling it a 'just a skin problem,' when it must be a systemic condition.” *4One thing we have not talked about thus far is depression. It is a common thread through many of the ‘medical’ conditions associated with habitual picking, from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder to Trichotillomania, from Prader Willis Syndrome to Nail Biting. Any state of mind that would insight you to an act of self mutilation has not got to feel good. As doctors become more informed of the causes of depression, they have found a correlation with the seratonin levels in the brain. Seratonin is a nuerotransmitter or a chemical substance in your body which functions to send ‘electrical’ mood signals to your brain. It keeps you emotionally stable, helps you tolerate pain, and maintains your self-confidence. People who suffer depression are often deficient or depleted in seratonin, and doctors are finding these same depleted levels in patients who suffer other compulsive disorders. Deficiency in seratonin results in depression, obsession thoughts and worries, compromised self esteem, sleep disorders, general irritability and sweet craving. Many of the food/chemical we ingest directly effect seratonin, such as sugar, marijuana, alcohol, tobacco, and ecstasy-type drugs. Traditional medicine usually treats depression with mood stabilizing drugs or anti-depressants, the older ones being ‘tricyclic-type’ such as Doxepin. The newest antidepressants are in the Prozac family and are called SSRIs or Selective Seratonin Uptake Inhibitors. Some common names are SSRIs such as sertraline work on both the amounts of seratonin and their receptors in the brain and have been found to be effective in treating some of the different types of Obsessive Compulsive disorders. The side effects include diarrhea and other gastrointestinal disorders, headache, and sexual dysfunction. Which if you ask me could lead one to even more depression. Many pickers who get prescribed anti-depressants say that they still pick, but that they just feel less attached and more relaxed about the picking. They get relief for a short time while they first get on the drugs, then take up the old habit as naturally as ever, but without as much 'care.'
