Have you read up on cognitive behavioral therapy? A short summary would be that a lot of it is caused by entrenched thought patterns and toxic routines. So a question of what input you process how. Its often not caused by chemical imbalances but what falsehoods you belief and what conclusions you draw from it.

"Chemical imbalances" is a terrible way of describing what causes some mental health issues. Its an issue with regulation and sometimes it can be changed with something like CBT.

Thanks for the correction, i am obviously not familiar with the field. This was meant as an example of non-chemical cognition problems.
