Your body responds to systemic increases in inflammation by becoming depressed. Cleaning the wastes out of your body, in a way that decreases inflammation, will act to decrease depression. Interesting—and true and well-studied—corollary: things that just suppress the inflammatory response to bodily toxins, are also antidepressant. NSAIDs (e.g. ibuprofen) are anti-depressant.
