depression? What causes it?
Question:
Answers:

Most psychologists and psychiatrists now work in conjunction with each other, and it is generally accepted that depression is caused by both psychology and a surplus or deficit of serotonin, norepinephrine or dopamine, but this has not always been the consensus, even though it makes very logical sense and works wonders, because little enough is known of the brain to observe and document clinical results.
