The only proven "chemical imbalance" has been caused by the meds.

If you want to talk about what causes your illness… I just started a book that describes the brain as a diverse system rather then a machine. There is a whole system of parts connected in ways that are unique to your genetics, biology, experience. If you think about it that way coming up with a single or even a few answers is impossible. Our medical community is taught to think things that aren't normal are diseases. But normal is defined by the culture and cultures change. I read about one Native American tribe where 75% consider themselves depressed. " the way to deal with the depression, the Salish believe, is by transforming ones sadness into compassion for others. It doesn't get rid of the depression[…]"
In short they believe depressed people make the best guides and teachers. In fact there is research that depressed people see the world more realistically.

I think trying to come up with a "cause" is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
