Hello. I am depressed due to severe stress. Since I don't have a chemical imbalance, does anyone know if I would benefit from medication? I need something. Thanks

Have you seen a therapist yet? Even when depression is due to a "chemical imbalance", therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy in particular, is very helpful. I'm on medication, but therapy has been key to my recovery.

Did you see you doctor & tell you this or are you self-diagnosing?
hey, this is your life - it's worth at least looking into it (meds) - and as I mentioned before, if you really are under a lot of stress, even though it might be hard to find the time, having a therapist to work out some of the issues could be very helpful.

Stop & take the time to see your doctor and find out what is going on. If your regular MD can't help you, hopefully he can recommend someone to you.
I am on Prozac & therapy. Without the therapy, I couldn't do it myself.
