Answer 1

The question of brain imbalances is the type of the chicken and egg. Do brain imbalances cause depression, etc? or do having down feelings feed chemical imbalances which further feed down feelings? It is a viscious cycle which can definitely be treated with psychoterapy.

Using drugs (medical drugs) is just a cheap way, it creates a dependancy, it has side effects for drugs can never just affect a single area of the brain, and its a way for drug companies to become more rich and powerful. Drug companies want us to believe that chemical imbalances in the brain are just there and that only medicine can help.

Answer 2

for the higher degree of disorders, like insomnia, yes it would take a long period of time and drugs if necessary. but for the lower degree of disorders, it would take a shorter period of time. you can even balance the chemicals in the brain in just hours or minutes. if you are sad, there are more chemicals that causes sadness than happiness. to balance this you can just listen or watch funny stuffs and you'll brain will react to it and balance the brain chemistry. yes vitamin b can help but, not for anxiety.

for anxiety this drugs may help: quetiapine, namenda or memantine, venlafaxine you can also use placebo.
