The psychology/pharmaceutical industry had to admit a few months ago that they never actually had any evidence to support the chemical imbalance theory of mental illness and depression. Apparently they simply made it up without doing any studies and were recently exposed. I don’t think Big Pharma even bothered forging a peer-reviewed study in the Lancet like they did against Hydroxychloroquine. More likely they put out a press release to all the shrinks and said, “Depression is caused by a chemical imbalance now and only our product fixes it. No serious doctor would ever question this, which is why their medical licenses are being revoked and their names slandered by the press. It’s for everyone’s safety.”

I don’t think people were ready to hear about this particular lie yet so they mostly ignored the story. There are probably even many people on the right who like their SSRIs too much to let them go, at least for now.
