> there is value in publicizing the fact [...] This has consequences in how they approach treatment (medication-centric)

If anything (in my experience) people are too biased against medicine. And as others pointed out, this isn't at all evidence that medicines don't work - their efficacy is based on double-blind studies, not on chemical imbalance hypotheses.

There are many other possible mechanisms that aren't related to the environment. Publicizing studies like this beyond academia is only likely to cause confusion and unfounded anti-medicine sentiment.
