Serotonin, Dopamine and norepinephrine etc. are chemicals in the brain that act as neurotransmitters and their imbalance can affect our moods and thoughts etc. Medicines like Prozac try to counteract the symptoms by altering the brain chemistry.
There are online quizzes etc. and a good site is www.about.com

Their is no such thing as a chemical imbalance. How can you prove a chemical imbalance? Do they stick a needle in are heads and tells yes you imbalance. That is just something we are told and sold by these stupid drug companies don't fall for it.

Some chemical imbalances feel good some feel bad. Endorphins feel good . depression chemicals feel bad. It is how our brain works.
