I'm not sure exactly what claim you are referring to. Maybe if you articulate it I can comment properly.

My general impression is that the only way to communicate how psychiatry is would be to write a very thick novel with characters who occupy many different positions in relation to the profession. Even then it would be hard to give an all-encompassing impression.

"chemical imbalance theory". I'm aware of people saying it's not accepted as science, but I'm sure what is the current accepted science.
