I think there a difference between saying what you have said, which admits the possibility of real chemical imbalance based on surrounding contexts, even if more research and evidence is necessary to fully understand or prove it, vs, outright saying that it is a "myth," as the OP did, which is both dismissive and inaccurate.

Yes. I’m not a neurologist and my views shouldn’t be taken as medical. But many issues are classified by the nature of their remediation. Also, it’s my understanding that treating depression with just medicine and no counseling is frowned upon.
