I would agree with that article. Basically it says chemical imbalance is only a small part of the story. SSRI and SNRI only work in 50% of people. They don't really know how and why they work. You can't trust big pharma and all their advertising. According to them they had it all figured out and Prozac was a magic pill. I am still convinced however that in my case it is genetically and biologically caused. Same with my addictive personality and alcoholism. They go hand in hand. I also believe environmental factors played a role. What is encouraging is that it is known now that the brain is much more plastic and changes all the time. This means CBT behavior meditation exercise can change your brain.
