New research approach about depression and anxiety disorders

[keepfighting]

This research isn't - strictly speaking - about CPTSD but about major depression and anxiety disorders which are also related to/part of CPTSD in many cases. I hope it's okay to post it here. It caught my interest since I've had episodes of both depression and anxiety myself and they are related to my CPTSD.

Depression and anxiety as an infection.     

Thanks for posting keepfighting.   I'm not sure what to think on this.

It's certainly out of the box but an interesting approach, I think.

If a (biological) cause could be found, next step would be to look for a treatment that treats the cause instead of just the symptoms.

Wouldn't that be nice?!?

Oh my words, that would be straight out of a daydream. But even if little of practical use were to come out of this, it would still be a fun fact to mention to people of the "oh-just-buck-up-and-you-won't-be-depressed-anymore" school.

Wasn't there some mention about depression and inflammation in this one thread about depression and nutrition? Found it: http://outofthefog.net/C-PTSD/forum/index.php?topic=112.msg693#msg693. The mention is in the article BadMemories links to in the first post of that thread.
