> The diagnosis of depression usually revolves around changes in body chemistry and the functioning of the brain. It is an issue as real as diabetes is. To explain my point further, consider the following: I have never heard of anyone getting a depression diagnosis based on changes in their body chemistry or the functioning of the brain. It's always set after a talk about feelings, situation, emotions and "what's going on ?". Exceptions are from articles dealing with electrical shock therapies that regularly hit the front page.
