Yes you did. No I'm not.

(I've written paragraphs and paragraphs thinking through some of my views in this thread. You wrote three words naming a thing which doesn't seem to exist. If you want more engagement, engage more. What words am I twisting? Where did you say it was anything more detailed than that? What behaviour that people "can't control alone" are you talking about?)

I did not and I am telling you I do not believe that it is that simple. You do not need to waste time arguing against your incorrect interpretation of my comment. If you need me to say I could have phrased it better, sure, I could have phrased it better. But I am now telling you exactly what I mean and think so we don’t need to do this song and dance.

For emphasis: I do not think it is simply/exclusively “chemical imbalance.”

[jodrellblank]

But why do you think it is at all "chemical imbalance" when that doesn't seem to be an actual thing? What evidence convinced you? What measurements were taken on a human brain to diagnose the imbalance?

We can nitpick terminology all day but at the end of the day for you to assert that this is purely about perspective is patently absurd and I’m not going to let you distract from that fact. There are medical realities that impact people. There are external factors. There’s more to depression then recalibrating “how bad things actually are.”
