What do we know about the biology of depression?
We know a lot, but understand very little.
Perhaps all you need to do is to assemble the data available on the Internet and synthesize a novel model for understanding the psychoneurobiology of depressive illness. It would lead to choosing the best treatment for each case. I hope you can do this. I cannot. The data is exploding at a rate that is very difficult to keep up with. This is a good thing.
Uncertainty is your best friend. Without God or an oracle revealing to you that your suffering will never end, having hope is logical.
For today, your best choice is to observe which treatments work rather than to predict which ones will work and which won't based upon guesses
Right now, I consider "Hugh" to be the most valuable source of information and novel ideas on Psycho-Babble. His knowledge regarding cutting-edge treatments for depression is far beyond mine. As far as creating valid reasons to have hope for your healing, keep reading Hugh's writings here.
