> I personally think the common thread in the cause of all cases of depression is a combination of a biological predisposition with a lack of proper nurture that disrupted healthy development and gave the genetic predisposition an environment in which it could thrive. I understand there are underlying infections/illnesses that can cause chronic depression, I just do not believe that these are the most common causes. Also, someone that has a genetic predisposition and suffered from a toxic neglectful childhood, is probably more likely to suffer from depression brought on by an illness/chronic infection. This is also the case with postpartum depression(studies have actually given strong evidence for this).
Hello,
I hear what you're saying, but I don't agree that all cases of depression have a common thread of childhood neglect and/or abuse. Certainly many do.
I also didn't get that bleauberry's post was referring to missed underlying infections. europerep's post points out that he has not been heard or listened to by the pdoc's he's been seeing. I thought bleauberry was simply pointing out that a comprehensive evaluation by a good pdoc now, could save him years of searching for answers in the future.
I could be wrong.
