According to a growing number of scientists, this is exactly how we should be thinking about the condition. George Slavich, a clinical psychologist at the University of California in Los Angeles, has spent years studying depression, and has come to the conclusion that it has as much to do with the body as the mind. “I don’t even talk about it as a psychiatric condition any more,” he says. “It does involve psychology, but it also involves equal parts of biology and physical health.”One more time- before Freud, depression as an illness was the assumption of all doctors throughout history.
And depression is not caused by Psychology in any way- other than the fact that Psychologists and their ridiculous magical thinking are the reason the reality based hypothesis has been ignored for a freakin century.
