I will argue with you a little willyee. I fail to understand why you can lay all the blame on chemical imbalances, drugs etc without any culpability on your part. Do you not think that your negative, defeatist attitude adds to your problems? I will not debate at all that there are chemical imbalances but at the same time if you think that your lifestyle, your outlook on things don't affect the way you feel then I think you are too far into computers and hardwiring of the brain etc.
I have a stepdaughter who is a PhD and runs a clinic for autistic kids and with therapy they CAN get better. They may never be perfect, but I've seen some become functional. It takes work with the kids and parents that are devoted to helping them.
The feeling that I get from some of your posts is that you don't think for a minute that you can ever be better. Go ahead and blast me if you'd like or correct me where I'm wrong. Give yourself a break and allow for the possibility that talk therapy and lifestyle changes could actually help you.
