She is accurately reporting the beneficial influences she enjoys from this procedure. It is reversing her state of depression within, but this is not because it is a neurological disorder and it is influencing the brain, per se. It indeed is affecting the energy flow through chemical means, and this is by impinging on the brain and nervous system, but is not righting a wrong, so to speak, that is within the anatomy or physiology. It is simply causing energetic flow alteration, and this is conferring a benefit by allowing a time of restoration of balance. And because that has been induced in effect, through artificial means, through a chemical intervention, the body nonetheless enjoys that re-balancing and it can persist for a time, and thereby cause a restoration as a consequence. So it is in effect, a kind of lucky side effect being exploited here for benefit. So this is the reason it is still being pursued because it does have benefits and can be a blessing for people without access to any other approach that is effective for them.
