Dopamine.

This is a theory that has been put forth by the pharmaceutical industry and the industry of Psychiatry. However, all scientific attempts to support this theory have failed. The only neurotransmitter imbalances ever identified in mental illness is more scientifically explain as the result of medication. Brains of individuals who have been identified as having mental illness, but not taking medication, do not show these imbalances. The same has been repeatedly demonstrated with serotonin and depression as well.
