Yes. I always hear "Chemical imbalance" thrown around but nobody can say which chemicals and how to detect it physiologically and how the medication counteracts it.
- DanBC 10y agoYou don't hear that from psychiatric doctors about SSRIs because they all know it's bollocks. In England I've only ever met 3 doctors who said mental illness was purely, or even mostly, biological. All the others, including the ones who focused on the diseases we think are biological (bipolar; psychosis) placed great importance on the psychological and social impacts.
