Excerpt from Psychiatry and your child's future: “Chemical imbalance” is often the rationale behind the psychiatric community's emphasis on drugs. Many professionals disagree:
  • “We know that the chemical imbalance model for mental illness has never been scientifically proven.”- Ty C. Colbert, PhD, clinical psychiatrist
  • “There are no tests available for assessing the chemical status of a living person’s brain.” - Dr. Elliot Valenstein, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, University of Michigan
