YOU GOT IT WRONG - Mark Potter

The aim of this blog is to highlight persons in the media who tout the chemical imbalance theory as a fact. It's highly unprofessional and misleading to do so and this blog demands that any statements relating to the 'chemical imbalance' myth should either be backed up with supporting evidence or retracted.

Where possible, each person featured on this blog has been contacted via Twitter, email, and/or Facebook and asked to retract their statements or provide supporting evidence.

Once supporting evidence has been shown they will be removed from this blog. Moreover, if they retract their original statements they will also be removed from this blog.

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.

Those featured on this list need to do their research.

Quote: "Digging deep into his own story, Potter shared, when his severe depression hit, interestingly, his full life had so many positive elements at the time. “My team was doing great, so was my marriage and children, but then everyday issues with the players seemed like 100 times magnified and my thought process was like, ‘what’s goin’ on here?’ That’s a chemical imbalance in the brain,” Potter said. “I was beginning to have dark thoughts. I remember driving and tears were rolling down my face. I thought, I sure wasn’t going to tell my students or even my wife, but since then as you know, I’ve learned you must go the doctor and get it fixed,” he said, adding, “A chemical imbalance can be addressed through medication, counseling or a combination.”"
