Behind the new study changing how doctors view depression

"Chemical imbalance" lie sells drugs.

We've all seen the Big Pharma ads saying "depression may be caused by a chemical imbalance" in the brain. But for years, doctors have known that's not entirely true. A big new study confirms that it's NOT true. The study debunks that theory. It is not low serotonin levels. This has come as a shock to patients. Daniel Carlat joins On Point to discuss the massive implications of Big Pharma's big lie, which has been repeated endlessly until everyone assumed it had to be true.
