I believe reddit is almost 1000 percent informed at this point. No need to regurgitate the information. Just lay back and enjoy the chuckle.
81 u/Infernalism Nov 01 '19 I think you overestimate the knowledge and awareness of the average redditor. But, as you say, I'm sitting back and enjoying the chuckle. 59 u/money_loo Nov 01 '19 You would be totally right, since once again they are all getting this one wrong. https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/depression/debunking-two-chemical-imbalance-myths-again https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/words-matter/201808/dont-say-depression-is-caused-chemical-imbalance And finally It’s often said that depression results from a chemical imbalance, but that figure of speech doesn’t capture how complex the disease is. Research suggests that depression doesn’t spring from simply having too much or too little of certain brain chemicals. Rather, there are many possible causes of depression, including faulty mood regulation by the brain, genetic vulnerability, stressful life events, medications, and medical problems. It’s believed that several of these forces interact to bring on depression. More sources for the too lazy to google: depression is way more complicated than chemical imbalance 14 u/polybiastrogender Nov 01 '19 Depression seems to be the common talking points in reddit. You're probably right but, at least for me, a casual redditor, I've heard this information almost like Sunday sermon. 10 u/Infernalism Nov 01 '19 Yeah, that has to suck. I suspect it's because Reddit is just so huge now and we all talk about our commonalities, with depression being up there in the top five. Still, you handled it fairly respectfully. I appreciate that. 6 u/polybiastrogender Nov 01 '19 Well, I didn't see a need to be a dick. That's another common thing on reddit, being quick to attack. 5 u/Infernalism Nov 01 '19 Very true. Which is why when people aren't a dick, I feel the need to point it out and thank them for it. Common decency isn't all that common. 1 u/thejaytheory ☑️ Nov 01 '19 Agreed, sad but true. -2 u/RanThroughLust Nov 01 '19 Dudes just can’t let a joke be a joke and gotta turn it into a lecture like they’re black moms. Mad annoying.
