I personally don't.
As you said, depression can be caused by a chemical imbalance, but it can also be caused by feelings of dissatisfaction, hopelessness, unrest, etc.....and I believe people can talk themselve into, or out of depression.....been there, done that.
Many people are in situations that are mentally stressful, and rather than dwelling on it, and getting further and further into that pit, they change their circumstances. Others just give into the hopelessness.
Now, that's not to say that the depression caused by a chemical imbalance can be explained away so easily, sometimes medication is the quickest remedy for a chemical imbalance. Not the BEST remedy, but the quickest.
In many cases, proper diet, exercise, sunshine, etc can help restore the body's chemical levels.
