I gotta tell you, I tend to take a very pragmatic approach when it comes to meds.
For me, it didn't matter if there were no studies that confirm or refute the claim that a chemical imbalance in the brain promoted mental illness.
What mattered to me was that it could be treated, in my case, quite effectively.
To me, the data were quite clear that a combination of therapy and medication was the most effective at managing the effects of most mental illness and that's what I opted for.
That's the road I took.
It may not be the road for you.
In my opinion, there is no one right and true path that leads to a cure for anyone. I would be very wary of anyone or anything that indicated that there is.
There can be relief however.
Seldom.
