I believe mental illness is real, but sometimes it may be something else, maybe a spiritual illness. In ancient studies we can see that the chakras are major keys to receiving energy and emitting. Balancing these wheels of energy allow for proper flow. Depression could be a result of an imbalance in these wheels instead of simple chem-electric reactions between our neurotransmitters and neuron-pathways.
