I think we tend to forget that our thoughts, emotions and mind are, essentially, PHYSICAL parts of our body as well... they all run on chemicals that are supposed to keep them organized.....
When a person has chronic pain or illness, these chemicals become disturbed, and cause "shortages" in the messages in our brains. Sometimes it is related to not absorbing the right stuff out of the food we eat. Either way, it still comes down to the basics that is is still a PHYSIOLOGICAL process.....
Keeping that in mind.... when our gut hurts, it is acceptable to seek help.... why not when our BRAIN hurts???????? 
Big squishy hugs, Jer. We are here for you.................
