  <title>Depression, Anxiety, and the Myth of the Chemical Imbalance</title>
  <description>What if the entire “chemical imbalance” story about depression was oversimplified… and it’s actually keeping you stuck?

In conversation, we tackle:

The 2022 study that “debunked” serotonin—and why everyone completely overreacted to it
How Big Pharma accidentally sold us an oversimplified story (because it was easier to market)
The anxiety → over-functioning → burnout → depression crash cycle (and why so many high-achievers are stuck in it)
Why “just think positive” might actually be making your depression worse
The brutal reality: the things that help depression are the exact opposite of what you feel like doing
Why chasing happiness is setting you up to feel worse—and what to aim for instead
