What Is Depression? One Theory Proposes Illness Stems From Unidentified Infectious Disease

http://www.medicaldaily.com/what-dep...disease-313462

A researcher from Stony Brook University in New York has proposed a radical theory on what causes depression. According to Dr. Turhan Canli’s recently published paper, the behavioral and emotional changes we view as depression may actually be the side effects of a yet-to-be identified infection. Canli isn’t the first to put forward this suggestion and, if proven true, it could potentially change not only the way we view depression, but also the way we treat it.
