Well, no. If there had been obvious causes for major depression, they would have been found by now. There may be some infectious agents who induce depressions (like hepatitis), and some have not yet been discovered, but I highly doubt that a major infectious cause for major depression is still "hiding".


Did you miss the comparison to ulcers and how long their real cause was overlooked in favour of a mistaken cause?
