Quote ~ “Some people believe that medication can’t be used to help a mental health problem and that people should just ‘pick themselves up’ or ‘deal with it and move on. However, medications like antidepressants actually help correct chemical imbalances and work on the neurotransmitters to lessen the symptoms of the condition.”

Quote ~ “Living with depression has been my biggest struggle. It’s a constant battle, one that I haven’t really talked about publicly and probably should do more… I don’t think many people ‘get over’ depression to be honest, I think it’s something that you continuously need to stay on top of and manage. There’s no shame in it, ultimately it’s a chemical imbalance in your brain.”

Article ~  The Quandary of a "Biochemical Imbalance"

Quote ~ “We, from the mental health community, basically believe that emotional illness is due to a biochemical imbalance of the brain. It seems to make sense; after all, emotional illness is due to aberrant thoughts and feelings. And where do these originate from? Well, they’re products of brain processes. These functions are the result of biochemical reactions. For it must be remembered that the brain is, in a sense, a biochemical factory.   All these chemicals, working together in very complex ways, produce our thoughts and feelings.
So, if you’re having serious problems with abnormal thoughts and feelings, they’re due to the biochemistry of the brain, of course. This biochemistry has something wrong with it—“a biochemical imbalance”—which plays havoc with thoughts and feelings. The “cure” for this “biochemical imbalance” is to “fix it” with remedial chemicals—medicines. In a sense, these “pharmaceuticals” restore the biochemistry to a “normal balance.”.”
