A bit oversimplified but generally true for persistent bummed out. Not true for acute suicideation, which is real, a threat, and can be resolved with drugs or listening to the suicide call.
Are you saying there is proof that suicidal people have a chemical imbalance in the brain? I'm aware of instances of correlation between chemicals found in spinal taps and depression, but correlation does not equal causation and drug companies and doctors love to pretend it does in this case. I believe the the chemical imbalance is caused by the depression, no the other way around. I can't prove that, but they can't prove their claim either as far as i can tell.

I didn't say that at all, and I was agreeing with you. "Chemical imbalance" is of course a misnomer. What I said was that in the case of acute crisis, drugs can help.
