This is just one way to look at it. Nobody knows /why/ they don't work
right. (Of course you can find another "cause" of why they don't work
right, but that still doesn't answer the "why question": it just shifts to
that next "cause". There's no end to this, on this road.)

Drugs are just the most invested-in way to deal with this, but by far not
the only one -- no matter what any medical journal says.

My neurotransmitters don't work right either, and if it were up to them and
their literature, I'd be on drugs for a lifetime. I'm not, and I'm just
fine. Wasn't easy to get there, and isn't always easy to remain there.

Don't bash lightly the power of will. And of faith. In the end, it's about
living; the medical community doesn't necessarily know much about this.
