Yes. It can be genetically inherited, epigenetic, via trauma, abuse, drugs, injections, etc. Lots of stuff can affect the brain. Anything that affects the brain can affect behaviour.

This is on that topic, I posted it a few days ago, less than 5 minutes long: https://saidit.net/s/Antipsychiatry/comments/5rd9/cchr_on_psychiatry_no_science_no_cures_4m54s/

But suffice it to say, there is zero evidence that chemical imbalances in the brain create psychiatric conditions. No such imbalance, or balance, was ever discovered. Still, mercury and formaldehyde, aluminum, glyphosate, lead, and so many other toxic products are bound to fuck you up, on that we agree.

Then what are 5HTP (precursor to seretonin) and SSRIs all about. I've experienced the chemical imbalances that I was prescribed. It's very real.

Well... Yes, 5HTP boosts serotonin production and this aids a smooth disposition. Neurotransmitters do their thing, I am not denying that. But take for example psychiatry's most axiomatic assertion that depression = lack of serotonin = need an SSRI. It's backed up by pretty much nothing. Yes, SOME people report a numbing of the dark mood, as well as a slew of other effects that aren't otherwise associated with heightened serotonin.

As such, it's hard to ascribe SSRIs' effects to only its action on serotonin. I took half a dose of such a poison once, and it made me murderously violent. I WANTED to slaughter people in the bloodiest way possible. Of course, I could observe this and cloister myself until the effect passed and not commit heinous crimes. And this mood is absolutely opposite what I am. So again, is that simply serotonin? 5-HTP never had any such effects on me, even when I had borderline serotonin syndrome from overdoing it a bit. Nor GHB for that matter, which cured my depression.

So, sure, SSRIs can give you "chemical imbalance" problems. OBVIOUSLY since they are synthetic and unnatural chemicals. I'm not stating that poisoning doesn't exist here. All I'm saying is that no chemical balance of healthy minds was ever recorded, and as such, ascribing mental illness to chemical imbalance is a statement devoid of any actual evidence backing it. It's scientism. ;-)
