You don’t mean that it is not just a chemical imbalance?

It’s obviously caused by liberals.

So we are back to square 1 and don’t really know what causes clinical depression.

Just because they increase people’s seratonin does not necessarily mean that a person’s depression was caused by lack of seratonin. I always assumed it was felt that extra seratonin helped with whatever was making them depressed. Just like pain is not caused by “lack of painkillers”.

Depression (personally and nationally) is caused by an excess of Obama.

A general collapse in SSRI sales volume would undoubtedly cause many people to become depressed.

Certainly worked for my wife. Clinically depressed for decades, attended a prayer session three years ago and hasn’t been seriously depressed since.

It's widely believed that people with depression don't make enough serotoninI don't think that's the true.
The problem is IIRC that the serotonin released by the pre-symaptic neuron which is intended to be release into the synapse and absorb by the post-synaptic neuron is, in a depressed persons brain, reabsorbed by the pre-synaptic neuron thereby preventing it from reaching the post-synaptic neuron.
Hence the name SSRI for some antidepressants. SSRI is an acronym which stands for Selective Serotonin RE-UPTAKE INHIBITOR.

‘So we are back to square 1 and don’t really know what causes clinical depression.’
That makes me sad.

The cure for depression is Jesus.Absolutely. And adding a good daily exercise program won't hurt either.

No, He never promised to cure everything. Just that His Grace would be sufficient to endure it.

don’t really know what causes clinical depression. Clinical depression is caused by clinics, of course!
