Thank you!!! That is one of the scary things happening in our culture. The medicalization of things that aren’t medical. If you’re depressed, it’s because of a “chemical imbalance” and you need to speak to a therapist and take medication. There’s is zero evidence depression is from a chemical imbalance. Depression is unhappiness that results from something being wrong or missing in your life, often it results from being treated poorly by the people around you. It’s not medical. And I’m so sick of therapy being recommended for every little thing as if it’s some magic bullet.
