This is a massive post, but it’s a damn important one.
The only flaw is the use of the word “cause” when it comes to the bit about neurotransmitters. Whether the imbalance causes the depression or the depression causes the imbalance is unknown and medication alone has been shown to be less effective than medication combined with psychotherapy. You need therapy to work through the underlying issues in conjunction with medication to reduce symptoms. I don’t mean to nitpick because this is an otherwise awesome post, but it is important for people to know that the most effective treatment combines medication with therapy.
