I suspect that in a non-ignorable number of cases, "no one", because it's entirely possible their brain chemistry is just screwy.

No-one credible uses brain chemistry as an explanation for depression (unless you're talking about bi-polar). The emphasis is on the psycho-social bit of bio-psycho-social.

Because brain chemistry certainly seems to be definitely regarded as at least holding a coat even if it's not actively swinging punches.
