Chem imbalance or not, if you are depressed or anxious it is about something... that needs to be discussed and dealt with. Tools need to be given and practiced.
Just handing someone meds does nothing toward that other than putting them into a frame of mind to help them receive that information and put it into action... nothing more. They do not "cure" anything without the work and tools professionally given & monitored. This is why I have problems with most Psychiatrists, they have lost their calling. |

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.

To play devil's advocate: another side of speculation is that depression causes your brain to reuptake the seratonin, slowing your neurons, worsening the situation. It's a chicken/egg thing.
