		The term 'chemical imbalance' is not a medical or scientific term, and as such, it is not a scientific theory.
		Simple chemical imbalances were at one time believed to be the underlying psychopathology for certain mental illnesses, notably clinical depression and schizophrenia.
		Critics of the chemical imbalance theory contend brain chemistry levels are not an adequate gauge of neurochemical processes affecting mental health, noting the enormous number of different chemicals and their unknown interactions.
