Is Depression a Chemical Imbalance of The Brain or a Normal Human Emotion? Psychology

What is the cause of depression? Antidepressant commercials explain that depression is thought to be a chemical imbalance in the brain of neurotransmitters and they often mention serotonin and imply that depression is nothing more than the low level of serotonin in the brain. Is this scientific fact or is it just a marketing line designed to sell their antidepressant drugs.

This video is a response to the videos, "Is Depression A Chemical Imbalance In The Brain, Mind Control Report" in which Corrina responds to a viewer comment and discusses the definition of depression: a normal human emotion or an abnormal imbalance in the brain?

Ok, all I ask is for you to prove what you say.

[Yrag1978]

@tien714 You know I think there are many kinds of depression and not all of them can be cause by a Chemical imballence. I belive this does exist or else I may aswell dismiss Postnatal Depression and Pre Menstral Tension as fake and nothing to do with an imbalance of chemicals. My point being that I think your only half right in what you say.

[tien714]

There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance

[M3d3a]

Oh and, depression = not the same as feeling a little glum or sad when something bad happened in your life. It's a long episode of feeling nothing and feeling empty, lacking any drive to do everyday tasks and loosing an important part of your identity. It is NOT normal, but shouldn't be handled with medication without therapy.

[M3d3a]

Depression and chemical inbalance go hand in hand, we just haven't figured out yet if it's the cause or the result of depression. Current theory is the diatheses-stress model, some people are more vulnerable for external influence - best way to treat depression is psycho-education, cogntive behavioral therapy and medication for heavy depressions.

Maslow's Hierarchy was not proven and fact was disproven multiple times.

Just the same nothing is my fault :) I 'm not responsible for myself. Kidding. Thank you for the thoughts. Have a great day.

The mind is a fragile thing, I get depressed when I'm around negative people so I just avoid them! Life is too short

Depression is a normal condition when you are living in a negatively polarized society. For example, if you are living in the society where people are more likely to shut you up, beat you up, disrespect you, and mistreat, compete against you rather than to help you.

The claimed "chemical imbalance" is a proper way to boost some drug company's bottom line.

I hope made sense but if I didn't, then let me know. Just don't depress me, or anybody else for that matter, for example, do not disrespe

Your lecture is depressing.
