It seems that some branches of science are too much separated. Overall, I do not like the article, but it shows exactly what is the problem with the current science:
1) they rely on drugs.
2) they do not know other sciences than theirs.
And they talk about hormones without taking into account that they are depending on the autonomic nervous sytem. The problem is that the research about the ANS is not very strong and rely more on the outcome of therapies without drugs. It means it cannot be measured more than by asking the people if their symtoms improve.
"an overall unfeeling or numbness — is a common complaint of depression patients prescribed to certain antidepressants. This diminished capacity to have feel-good emotions during positive moments can be a significant side effect for some people taking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs."
Drugs help you minimize those feelings of sadness and hopelessness — but will the drugs also undermine your ability to feel joy?
People struggling with depression often complain that they have lost some of their ability to respond emotionally to events and people around them.
This last sentence describe very well what is called freeze / dissociation. And for the ANS, the job to cure it must be ELECTRICAL. That is why I believe more in what gbolduev says about using different length of waves, if you really want to use what science can bring. Anyway, people have used things like art and music, which are also electric waves. Shamans have made people shake and tremble, which is like putting the nervous system on an earth rod. And look at videos on the web, animals do this perfectly, they shake and tremble and then have no more trapped memories in their bodies!
We are electric, with minerals that are conductives, that is also why I am interested in mineral balancing... And when our nervous system suffers, as all electric instalations do, they cut the current, the fuses go off. This is what causes the numbing. In PSSD it is more obvious, because SSRI were used to treat depression. Now this is right that something else than the nerves themselves is going the wrong way in the body, but what if this is basically a reaction of the ANS, which in turn gives orders to the rest of the body? Then there are other ways to recover, by acting more directly on the ANS, which in turn will change the orders that it gives to the rest of the body!
More over, just considere that in the article, they say "to respond emotionally".... But the emotion response has a physiological aspect too, you can FEEL the emotion somewhere in your body. Actually it is proved that the autonomic response happens before any other response in the body. The basic lid over the emotional, causing the blunting, is autonomic and parasympathetic in nature. The main nerve doing this is the vagus nerve.
