You’ve Been Lied to About Depression: It’s Not Your Serotonin

Did you know that antidepressant drugs are a $10 billion dollar market in America alone? These drugs are based on the chemical imbalance theory stating that low serotonin levels are to blame for anxiety and depression. However, this chemical imbalance theory as a cause has never really been proven. In fact, no study has ever proved that anyone has an ‘imbalance’ of any neurotransmitters or any other brain chemicals. The whole theory was hypothetical.
