Are depression, ADHD, bipolar, etc., real?

I have depression, and it is VERY real. I’m not on drugs because I don’t take any thing (personal beliefs), but if I did take meds, I’d absolutely be on antidepressants. It’s really hard to live with and it doesn’t go away. There is plenty of evidence to support the reality. Depression is often (not always) caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain which antidepressants can correct. I don’t think meds are the way to go all the time, but when simple therapy isn’t working, try something else.
