>Chronic infections likely only account for no more than 30 percent of all cases of depression. Depression is mostly caused by a combination of genetic predispositions and lack of proper nurture. I don't know why this isn't more obvious to people. Also, depression is a normal part of life, just as anxiety is. Unfortunately, things like depression and anxiety get out of control and become chronic usually because of parents that are not equipped to nurture and love their children the way they need to and genetics.
I meant to say THINGS LIKE chronic infections probably only account for 30 percent at very most of mental illness, IMO. I actually think it is more like 20 percent. There just are not enough people out there suffering from things like lyme disease, again IMO. I'm looking forward to good research being done in this area over the next ten or twenty years so we can get a better idea of what is really going on. I think there is enough data and evidence out there now to get a pretty good idea.
