That's where I disagree. I think that the causes you mentioned are certainly one possibility. However, depression (IMHO) is a very heterogeneous disorder with (likely) a plethora of causes.
- infections
- toxicities
- nutritional deficiencies
- childhood & life events (epigenetic changes)
- brain structure (from nature and nurture)
- hormonal imbalances (genes and environment)
- genetics (kazillion possibilities)For a crude example, we know individuals with the Huntington's gene will get Huntington's disease (and all the possible associated psychiatric manifestations). While toxicities and infections could certainly compound the problem, no amount of detox will solve the underlying problem.
