That first bit is totally untrue. Do you think our grief is not chemical? That we can't have neural rewiring occur following the loss of a loved one? Don't dichotomize experience and neurochemistry. They're two sides of the same coin.

Don't reframe my statement addressing someone's specific situation into a blanket comment. That person said their depression had a reason (that could be addressed, and once addressed, the depression was resolved.)

Speaking to that instance, it probably wasn't chemical, because if it was, it wouldn't have resolved with action taken independent of chemical treatment, but only with a combination.

I am not the person to try and strawman about depression.

And how do you think addressing stressors works? Some non-chemical means?
