"But is the “Chemical Imbalance” theory true?
The chemical imbalance theory as a cause for anxiety and depressive disorders never was true.
In fact, no experiment has ever shown that anyone has an ‘imbalance’ of any neurotransmitters or any other brain chemicals.
The entire theory was hypothetical.
Over the last ten years, independent research has continually shown the chemical imbalance theory to be false.
Furthermore, independent research has shown medications used to ‘correct’ the imbalance
were largely ineffective with many fairing no better than placebo."
