    Incorrect trauma has lasting effects on people, while you are talking about temporary states caused by endorphins. Some people literally do not make enough of these chemicals, they will not suddenly start upon eating the right foods and getting physical activity.

    It can help for sure.

    Also, some people are genetically predisposed to being sad, anxious or what have you without any trauma.

        Too bad you didn’t tell that to my brain back when I was in peak physical condition from competitive swimming! I’m sure if my brain knew that it was supposed to feel better while eating right, being extremely physically active, and consuming no drugs or alcohol, it wouldn’t have subjected me to decades of chronic depression.

        Thanks for the thoughtful and well researched advice you ignorant muppet.
