>>13339119I know exactly and precisely what I am talking about. Antidepressant medications have something like a 70% success rate at best (from uni textbooks, I remember a big chart on these meds for social anxiety). With full knowledge of the brain and chemistry, we would not be merely guessing at the mechanisms behind how SSRIs even work.
We used to think it was just from serotonin reuptake. Well, now the theory has changed.
The brain is not well understood at all.
State one single reason it would not be possible for the brain to generate phantom pain? State ONE reason burning your hand would hurt with no brain to process the signals from the hand. Burns do not inherently hurt because it is burning, it hurts because the brain is responding to a stimulus and creating the feeling of pain as a result of that
