kind of a long yakkety article and not much on tangibles. Yes there's a correlation between depression and inflammation, but there's a much bigger bucket of potential factors going on in this area: depression, sedentary lifestyle, sugar intake, obesity, inflammation, gut bacteria, visceral fat, and a whole lot more. As a clinical depression sufferer, if I change any one of those things, all the others change too.
