Because of neuroplasicty no brain is ever the same so therefore theres no such thing as neurotypical people. Our brains are as unique as finger prints or an eye iris. So in reality chemical imbalances dont exist. Theres no normal brains theres just ones that predispose you to certain problems that inhibit various levels of functionality, we call it mental illness.
That doesnt mean you dont have depression because of neurochemical problems, no one doubts that people have bad depression. I've been doing this whole psych drugs thing for years and years and i know how depression grinds you down. I went through drug after drug after drug without success untill a trial of lamictal.
And no i wasnt being sarcastic i just didnt explain myself well enough.
