Wait, really?! It "'finds' the places in your brain that need more dopamine and reduces it in parts that have too much"?? That's AWEsome! That's just like how depression is caused by a lack of serotonin in the brain and why SSRIs cure that chemical imbalance! Wow! i gotta get me some Abilify!!What did the drug rep. tell her this? Oh, well no wonder she believed it.
(Sorry, mocking your doctor and many like her, not you).
