Document Summary
How emotions are made: the secret life of the brain. In general, short term body imbalances are nothing to worry about, so long as you pay back your withdrawels by eating and sleeping: when a budget imbalance becomes prolonged, however, your internal dynamics change for the worse. Pain is an experience that occurs not only from physical damage but also when your brain predicts damage is imminent: her prediction based explanation of pain is backed up by a couple of obervations. When you are expecting pain, like the moment just before an injection, your brain regions that process nociception change their activity.

Depression is a concept: the traditional view of depression is that negative thoughts cause negative feelings.
