Psychiatry is replete with invalid biochemical assumptions–that are, upon

those false assumptions have spurred the use of extremely toxic, harmful
interventions that have caused patients irreparable physiological and mental
harm.
Indeed, the? "chemical imbalance" theory is the cornerstone for prescribing
serotonin boosting drugs for depression, and dopamine depleting drugs for
schizophrenia. The literature is flooded with biased, scientifically invalid
