YOU GOT IT WRONG - Kirby Smith

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.

Article: I was a pastor struggling with depression. The evangelical community offered virtually no helpful resources

Quote: "I have found that almost without exception, the best material available to the general public today is clinical, medical and secular. These knowledgeable writers understand that depression, though there may be many contributing factors, is at its core a physical illness, that it is the result of a chemical imbalance in the brain and that it is as much a physical issue as heart disease, diabetes or cancer. Mental illness is the result of chemical imbalances in the brain. Fix the brain. Fix the illness"
