As you will see from these lists, many of the authors are household names and influence those who follow them. This has to stop. The chemical imbalance line was created by the pharmaceutical industry, moreover, Eli Lilly, who launched the first of the SSRIs, Prozac.

Quote ~ "A chemical imbalance is a diagnosis made by physicians and psychiatrists to explain why changes in the neurological state of a person occurs. Lower levels of potassium, deficient levels of essential vitamins, reduced ability of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and an increased amount of cortisol stress hormone levels can all trigger a chemical imbalance. Common disorders associated with a chemical imbalance is depression and anxiety. Signs of a chemical imbalance can greatly vary with each person, although a few shared traits exist. Any altered behavior can be a sign of a chemical imbalance. Depression such as overwhelming sadness, crying, loss of interest in activities, fatigue, and losing hope can all indicate a chemical imbalance. The feeling of being hypersensitive is one that is often reported by people diagnosed with a chemical imbalance."
