This is going to sounds naive to most of you, but is it definite yet that depression is biologically related? I mean, they hardly know how the anti-depressants work, and all the serotonin, monoxidase, ect..explanations are all just theories, correct? However, I have read that they recently discovered a gene that is a precursor for depression. When they stimulated it, the lab rats got better. But it's only one of many genes that could cause depression. Another interesting thing, as I recall, is that this gene was not related to serotonin in any way.
