Thanks Linkadge for putting me right. You obviously no more than the guy who wrote the book. Would you therefore say that the situation is far too complex for there to be a cure or prevention just around the corner? As you say, SSRIs might do some things, but they don't address the glial problem in the pre-frontal cortex or the atrophy of the hippocampus.
And it seems as soon as scientists make a breakthrough in the reductionist explanation of depression, along comes what appears to be an environmental cause (or trigger). The book explains these aspects very well and has explained to me why therapy plus drugs works best
