Where possible, each person featured on this blog has been contacted via Twitter, email, and/or Facebook and asked to retract their statements or provide supporting evidence.

As you will see from these lists, many of the authors are household names and influence those who follow them. This has to stop. The chemical imbalance line was created by the pharmaceutical industry, moreover, Eli Lilly, who launched the first of the SSRIs, Prozac.
Those featured on this list need to do their research.

The Lowdown is a website to help young New Zealanders recognise and understand depression or anxiety. Through encouraging early recognition and help for depression or anxiety we intend to reduce the impact depression or anxiety has on the lives of young New Zealanders, now and throughout their adult lives.
Quote ~ “Your mood is closely linked to your thoughts and ideas, and all the stuff that’s happened to you and around you. On top of that, your body has chemicals in it that control your mood. Sometimes these chemicals get out of balance. As well as causing low mood, this imbalance can also be triggered by your own negative thinking. They both make things worse, which is why depression is said to ‘feed on itself’.”
