Abstract
Depression – More Information to Support the Idea That It Is Truly an Inflammatory Illness As you might imagine, despite the large volume of research supporting the idea that depression is an inflammatory illness, many in both the clinical and academic communities will point to various manifestations and subtleties of the average case of depression as evidence that, for this patient, the depression can’t be inflammatory. Therefore, in this installment I would like to address some of these qualifiers used by the naysayers to support their belief that depression can’t be an inflammatory illness and present evidence that, almost invariably, these qualifiers have an inflammatory basis.
