No, a chemical imbalance can cause depression or anxiety irrespective of any life issues.

If you have something to be depressed or anxious about, and you are depressed or anxious, that's not a chemical imbalance, that's life.

Of course, if you have something to be depressed or anxious about, and you take drugs to eliminate the depression or anxiety, you could be causing a chemical imbalance in the other direction. If the root cause is psychological, drugs may be dangerous, but if the root cause is a malfunctioning gland, talk therapy may be useless.
