Resist the pain and not feeling the pain are two vastly different things. I resisted the pain of childbirth several times, but I felt every one of those. Hurts like hell but the "end result" is so good you will be back next year with another kid

Chemical imbalance is also vastly different from sociopathy, psychopathy, etc... There is no chemical cure for psycopaths, but people who have neurochemical imbalance can be treated and live fairly normal lives.

And both of those maladies have nothing to do with having experienced pain. As a matter of fact, a person with bipolar or with a depression can feel pain for fairly trivial things or for no reason at all. That is one of the reasosn we know the person is sick: Their reaction to life events is out of proportion with what the events cause to the majority of us. They can get devastated for stuff we barely notice or for no visible reason at all.
