Also interesting about how the cytokines are released in response to diet.
Another well known cause is peyote posting in the wrong forum... 😉

Interesting stuff.
I maintain that [b]stress[/b] (physical and mental) and [b]stasis[/b] (lifestyle, physical and mental) are the two biggest causes/contributers to depression. Once depression arrives either self-absorption or disinterest (or combination of both) can take over, creating a cycle of misery and confusion.
I would look at fully identifying and addressing both stress and stasis before resorting to drugs. I was 14 years ago prescribed Citalopram (reactive depression) but it made me feel weird, disturbed sleep etc. However, a move, a life-change, a relationship change, a career change, and more and different physical exercise all combined to lift the fog and lend a healthy dose of hindsight which so far has prevented recurrence. Not even fingers crossed.
I'm working on a theory that most psychological ailments are a result of information overload, which the human brain has not evolved to process.
We have to process more information on a single weekend than our ancestors working the farms had to process in a whole year.
An Oxford theologian once told me aggression is frustrated creativity.
Next time I see a dust-up I will provide the protagonists with some paper and crayons and ask them to draw me a vista.
Recently glucosamine and chondroitin changed me from being somewhat prone to melancholy and occasional depressive episodes into a raging monster who was back to self-harm.
When I realised I was getting really bad I thought I'd strip my life/activities back to basics before I consulted someone, canned those tablets and felt hugely better in days.
Very odd indeed.
