Indeed.
The fact that depression is not transmitted by virus, bacteria or gene and is heavily correlated with cultural context make it a very suspect 'disease' if that word is to have any meaning.
- scotty79 14y agoCultural context determines so many things that influence brain chemistry like diet, sleep patterns, sitmuli patterns, amount an the patterns of stress, air pollution, etc. Depression is probably pretty chemical thing. Just very hard to track because we are pretty lame when it comes to brain chemistry.
