Truth Be Told With Lucinda Bassett – More on Depression
In his best-selling book Change You Brain, Change Your Life, Dr. Amen suggests that the deep limbic system is the bonding and mood controlling center, located at the center of the brain. The various functions of this system are
- setting the emotional tone of the mind
- filtering external events
- tagging events as internally important
- modulating motivation
- controlling appetite and sleep cycles
- promoting bonding
- directly processing the sense of smell
- modulating libido
This brain system gives you the capacity to solve problems, plan, organize, and think rationally. It sets your emotional tone, so when the deep limbic system is less active, you feel positive and hopeful. When it gets overactive and heated up, negativity can take over. You experience moodiness, isolation, irritability, depression, negative thinking and perception of events, decreased motivation, appetite and sleep problems, and decreased or increased sexual appetite. But there are solutions for all of it.

At 60 I never imagined I,d be where I am in my life. Two failed marriages, both were unfaithful. I have serious trust issues.. I’d rather be alone than subject myself to the pain I’ve had to live with. My second wife is a beautiful person. Inside and out. But she loves alcohol. She has been unfaithful and abusive. She calls or text me daily with her regrets and bad decisions she’s made. She won’t stop. She says she loves me. I believe her. What is love without trust. I’m doomed to a life of loneliness.. I feel I had so much more to give. I throw myself into my work, try to keep myself busy. I don’t like being alone. But don’t feel social. I feel stuck.
