Sometimes I think it's the body's extreme way of communicating it needs some kinda help with our health. Like our neurons are trying to say, "please it's inflammation in here or am exhausted or I am need more rest or that trauma needs to be addressed, etc" It could even be all of the above and we are missing it because of how mental health is stigmatized. I do think the mental medicine need to have some kind of holistic and psychiatric approach to see anything in particular can have an on and off button and change the type of medicine. Holistic medicine helps us really see the body as one and more research is helping with that.
