How is it determined that depression is due to a chemical imbalance when it’s, for the most part, clearly external circumstances that lead to it?

Say, a loved one has passed away, which results in depression…does the chemical imbalance come after the fact, what triggers the imbalance, and why is it blamed for the depression, and not the passing away of the loved one?

You’re conflating grief with depression. Depression isn’t grief. One can trigger the other but that’s not always the case. Grief and depression are different things.
