Yes it all happens as chemistry. I mean the cause of the problem isn’t always what we would normally call “chemical”. That’s what I meant by “happening at the chemical level”.

I’m just drawing a distinction between something like depression caused by a B12 deficiency and depression caused by the loss of your spouse. Thinking can’t fix B12, but sometimes it helps with loss.

If I try to word it better, would you agree that sometimes mental health issues are caused by biological problems and sometimes by events in our lives and how we think about them?
