if I am depressed because of an alcohol problem...I need to stop alcohol..
if I am depressed because I am harming others...I need to stop harming others..

we need to see very clearly what is taking us down....and I doubt very much that it is some kind of a chemical imbalance disease that only drugs will fix..

Of course people become depressed because of things that happen or have happened in their lives, but that can cause changes in the chemical functions in the brain as well. You are of course free to feel as you wish, but to me it sounds like a chicken and a hen problem. Who came first? I am glad that there are antidepressants available and they are of help for me.
I am glad that there are still therapists out there who can give people properly therapy. I'm thankful!
The meds and the former therapy have not taken away my depression totally, but I have to do my own things (watch triggers and so on) to have a good life. I don't understand your focus!
