- kekebo 7y agoInflammation can occur all over the body, it's a central part of the immune response, triggered for example by pathogens, damaged cells or toxic compounds. The type of inflammation that correlates with more and more (mental) disease is usually in relation to chronic inflammation, meaning the normally healthy immune response doesn't return to baseline and starts harming the body. This can occur because of chronic stress, obesity, a dysfunctional gut microbiome, chronic infections or as side effect of medical treatments, amongst other, and probably a lot of unknown, causes.
