Despite much research there's very little evidence that any mental/emotional illness is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain, although the pharmaceutical companies are keen to put out a different message for obvious reasons. Some people are helped by medicinal prescriptions - at least in the short-term - and some aren't, but this is not related to cause and more related to suppression of symptoms.Actually there is some quite substantial evidence to suggest that what we call depression is largely a product of Western lifestyles. 'Depression' as a disease cannot be isolated as a tangible physical problem of the brain in the same way that illnesses of other organs can be. It is a very vague term and while there are often underlying causes related to chemical imbalances, how these problems manifest themselves in human mood obviously relate to social factors. There was absolutely nothing wrong with his post.
Anyhow, I wish our old Spurs player all the best.
