I don't know if anyone ever took "chemical imbalance" as technically
correct, but it was a useful prop for sufferers. Probably the terminology &
the diagnosis will be quite different in another decade or three -- but
behind it all there is a fucking lot of real human misery.

P.S. My optical cortex is undoubtedly loony. As an opthamologist remarked,
if you think they're real you need another kind of doctor! I haven't been
able to see the E on eye charts for three years: some optical  hallucination
covers it. If I could draw the faces I see I could make a fortune designing
monsters for movies. At first they were quite varied, both realistic and
fantastic, but they've become a bore in silly shades of green.
