Makes me wonder how a person with such overwhelming mental states had got the job in the first place.

Congratulations you have just contributed to mass ignorance and prejudice to those with mental health issues.

Have I, now. Really. After I had pointed you in the direction of learning about how we experience our psychological reality. That's sweet.

How does a person with such mental states get jobs? Might it be because they are not anxious all the time, or not depressed all the time? Might they sometimes have lucid states where they connect with the people around them, such as at a job interview? Which means what, that they created their states of mind by their thinking?

Studies and decades of research in neuroscience show that people who have heightened levels of sensitivity which can lead to anxiety and depression is party due to naturally higher reactive parts of the brain, such as the amygdala.

Having a high reactive amygdala is detectable in new born babies which means it is not caused by their thinking.

Having a "heightened level of sensitivity" that "can lead to" anxiety and depression, does not mean that anxiety and depression is not a thinking game.

And who says that babies can't think?

The amydala is directly linked the fear and anxiety, I'm not saying that is the only reason.

You're like a close minded fanatic trying to sell something. I choose science and the psychological over some spiritual belief system.

If it's not the only reason, in your mind, then what's the problem with accepting that thinking is involved?

Of what spiritual belief system are you speaking? I certainly didn't pose any here.

I never said thinking wasn't involved. I said it was complex with multiple reasons, I mentioned positive thinking methods like affirmations is past posts.

So there's bodily reactions, and there's "thought" involved. Is there anything else that you can list here as being involved in anxiety and/or depression?

Personality traits, reaction and sensitivity to environments is explained in personality psychology which is considered genetic, shaped by the physical brain.

Possible reason for depression, the brain produces lower than average levels of serotonin. Explain how the 3 principles solves this problem?

You can change your brain by thinking; that's neuroplasticity.

On genetics:

https://www.brucelipton.com/resource/article/epigenetics wrote:According to Dr. Lipton, gene activity can change on a daily basis. If the perception in your mind is reflected in the chemistry of your body, and if your nervous system reads and interprets the environment and then controls the blood’s chemistry, then you can literally change the fate of your cells by altering your thoughts. In fact, Dr. Lipton’s research illustrates that by changing your perception, your mind can alter the activity of your genes and create over thirty thousand variations of products from each gene. He gives more detail by saying that the gene programs are contained within the nucleus of the cell, and you can rewrite those genetic programs through changing your blood chemistry.

You can boost serotonin levels by making changes in your lifestyle.

The Three Principles explains that you can change your relationship with your thoughts. You can step back and not take your thoughts seriously.

My mental well being was restored literally overnight when I learned how mind, thought, and consciousness work together to create our reality from moment to moment.
