WHY would my brain be imbalanced?

Brains react to traumas and stressors differently depending on their severity, regularity and how early it happens. For some it becomes an automatic response that forms a narrow foundation for how we see the rest of our life. We become so helpless that some events we should control turn into more trauma. When stress becomes ongoing or severe, we can get stuck in the emergency response—a vicious cycle where our minds try harder to control it. Anxiety—a stress response without a specific cause— dominates our moods. We waste large amounts of energy until the body’s fight-or-flight system burns out. We experience lack of resources: helpless/hopeless depression.
