Can you change your own brain chemistry?

I'm interested in what other people think about this. If you have a mental disorder, do you think that you can change your own brain chemistry through mental exercises (such as cognitive behavioral therapy) to cure/help your condition? Now I know that are some conditions which need medications, such as advanced schizophrenia, but I'm talking about less extreme conditions, such as anxiety disorders, depression, etc. If someone dived deep enough into their mind and practiced a number of different exercises, could they actually train their brain to ignore or alleviate the symptoms?
