I agree with most here. Pills generally are a bandaid approach and you will never truly get 'cured'. I suggest trying some lifestyle changes like exercise (it has profound positive effects for the mind), or seeing a psychiatrist to try and get at the root of the issue.
But if all else fails then use your family physician as a last resort.

Actually....there is no way to measure a chemical imbalance. They can't even offer a cure. Ask the doctor how may people he or she has cured. They don't tell you any of that up front.
People assume the doctors know how to fix it. The doctors make a best guess based on previous case studies and theories, not fact. It's all a guessing game, using the patient as a guinea pig.
They can't even tell you what the long term effects are on your system with any of those SSRI psychotropic drugs. They never tell you how hard it is to get off of some of those SSRI's. Anybody that is considering using SSRI's should definately do their own research before starting any of those meds because the medical community neglects to mention any of the drawbacks or repercussions.
