Hi everyone,

I just started with a new therapist last week. She's a holistic psychotherapist. She told me that depression is not caused by a chemical imbalance, and that we have to work together to find the root cause of my depression and anxiety. She said that that theory has really been debunked and that it was a narrative made up by the drug companies to sell their pills and get people to be on pills for the rest of their lives.


I've been offf and on meds since I was 18 but most recently on meds for a solid ten years. I live in a Specialized mental health rehabilitation facility where I believe you have to be on meds to live here. But I'm not intirely sure on that one. Anyway I'm just wondering if others have heard of that and if that made you question being on meds as it has for me.
