But if you are depressed do to neurochemical reasons instead of psychological reasons, then the pills can regulate you until your own body produces and regulates things on its own, you can then get weened off the pill

Pills do not regulate any neuro-chemical structure of the brain, they suppress the brain. They drug a person out, make them numb. They do not offer any cure or any healing from depression.
Most people run to a doc when they are going through a situational depression like a divorce, job less etc and are terrified to feel emotional pain, so they take a pill to drug them up.
Then once time has passed, they say "The meds helps me". The meds didn't help, time helped!
In the cases of bi polar or schizophrenia, there is no medication that actually cures either mental dysfunction, but if you talk to the many bi polar or schizophrenic sufferers who regulated brain function by determining why their chemical were out of whack and used natural methods like identifying food allergies, vitamin therapy etc they will tell you they are healed (I don't believe in a cure, but in healing).
I went to a medical conference with MD's and ND's where one of the days topics was "How to treat mental illness naturally" and many Md's are trying to see why ND's have so much success with their psychiatric patients.
ND's have great success with Orthomolecular Therapy. There were studies done that show in the brain tissue of patients with ADHD and depression, there is lack of absorption of zinc.
We can read all the research we like though really since pharma has the means to conduct research for their drugs, and even with the research, no one on this planet has ever been cured from depression from drugs. The proof is not in research but in the pudding and there have been amazing results (including in our clinic) of healing mental illness without meds.
SSRI's are poison to the brain!
