Mood | its more than just a feeling

     "I've been feeling down lately", reports patient X. "Its becoming harder to get out bed, I'm irritated by everyone around me, and I can't get a grasp on these negative thoughts. I know its all in my head, but...".
     
     More often than not, the way we feel easily becomes isolated to a psychological state. Depressed or anxious feelings = a mental condition, even though the symptoms can often be very physical. But what if I were to tell you that thats not the whole story, and that evidence suggests otherwise? 

     We know that our hormones (and feelings, for that matter) are continuously creating a series of beautifully coordinated chemical reactions with the intent of communication within the body. And while these chemical reactions may produce very metaphysical feelings, I assure you, the process is very physical.  Therefore, the way you feel isn't just all in your head, and believe it or not, theres a lot you can physically do to change it.
