> I can understand your desire and intent to include the social-psychological aspect of depression Violetta, but something tells me you haven't experienced it at a level of severity and persistence that would give you enough of an understanding of where many of us are coming from - especially those who have had good lives with no history of abuse, neglect or trauma of any kind.
This is not a commentary on Violette or you, but I think there is a tendency to formulate a perspective of what depression is, how it feels, and the therapies that best treat it, based upon one's ovn experiences with it.
> Science will back this up eventually, but for now we will have to deal with articles like the one you posted.
Science has already substantiated the biological underpinnings of major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BD). This is old news. Science is a lot further along than many of us would believe. Unfortunately, it is not far enough along to provide us all with the resolution of our depressions.
