Please do not listen to the people who espouse the brain chemical imbalance bullshit

I am a retired psychotherapist and have been aware that this is a line sold to us by big pharma since the late 1980's. It was all lies.

there is no such thing as a chemical imbalance in the brain. this has been disproved by loads of recent research,

It may not be depression, it may just be that you are at a crossroads in life and are looking for a new direction.

The existential emptiness could be a sense of loss and you are looking to find out who you are.

go see a therapist. have a chat, see what unfolds.
