I have intuitive thoughts about this...if your emotions are repressed by the use of SSRIs, how does one ever heal if one can't acknowledge, process, and evaluate the feelings?
I've read anxiety is the result of repressed emotions. I have had major problems with anxiety, but can't remember very much of my (abusive) childhood. Could I be healed if I can find these memories and deal with them? I don't know, but it's worth a try.
Also, the brain, hormones, neurotransmitters, intangible conscious/emotions, time-space-existence-physics, sleep; dreams, the whole endochrine system, etc., is so complicated, so interrelated, I don't think doctors/scientists know more than say - 10% of the information there is to know. Just an opinion, a guess; my 2 cents.
