Why You Can't "Snap Out" of Mental Health Issues | Expert Insight Kalaburagi

"Just think positive." "Snap out of it." "It's all in your head."
If you struggle with your mental health, you've probably heard these phrases. The truth is, if it were that easy, no one would suffer. Mental health conditions like depression and anxiety are not a choice or a character flaw; they are real medical conditions.

Here’s why you can’t just "snap out of it":

1. It's About Brain Chemistry: Conditions like depression and anxiety are often linked to imbalances in brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that regulate mood, sleep, and appetite. You can't will your brain chemistry to change any more than you can will a broken bone to heal.

2. It's a Physical Condition: Mental illness can cause real physical symptoms like fatigue, changes in appetite, sleep problems, and aches and pains. Your body is involved, not just your thoughts.

3. Your Brain's Wiring Plays a Role: Our thought patterns can become deep, well-worn pathways in the brain. Negative thinking can become a habit that is hard to break without the right tools and guidance.

Therapy provides the tools that willpower can't.
A therapist doesn't tell you to "snap out of it." Instead, they give you strategies to:

• Retrain your brain's thought patterns.

• Manage overwhelming emotions.

• Develop coping skills that work for you.

Healing is a process, not a switch you can flip.

If you're tired of being told to "get over it," we offer a better way.
