Well, anything psychological is physiological on a chemical level. Treatment can differ between chemical and therapeutic (not sure if that's the correct term) treatments, of course. But, breaking it all down, it eventually gets to a chemical level. KF

Right, in theory, everything about your brain is being stored as chemicals in some way. But that doesn't mean it would all be considered a chemical imbalance. If a disorder can be formed by habit, a traumatic event, etc. then it is preferable to treat it without medicines.
