The 'chemical imbalance' theory is pushed by drug companies.

It's a vast oversimplification.

We understand very little about the brain, compared to what we know abt the rest of the body. And there's a reason for that's the brain is incredibly complex, the most complex machine in our known universe. Hundreds of trillions of connections, hundreds of billions of brain cells, a nearly infinite number of possible mental states.

The drugs can be useful, but their effects usu plateau and leave us where we started, but now addicted to a drug that will cause rebound depression when we stop it. Antidepressants can save lives, but there's a price to pay down the road.

Never forget, corporations exist for one reason, to make a profit for the shareholders.
