 As depression is a subjective issue which has little to no objective parameters, one can only assume that the disease is part caused by internal biochemistry and external circumstance. Perhaps higher rates of depression are being caused by external, societal issues?
+Psychopharmacology is the study of how specific substances affect how the brain operates. Humans tend to believe that their decision making and sense of self is constant however, it is well documented that specific blood parameters can have a wide range of effects on our decision making. For instance, fluoxetine a common antidepressant can cause people to become more moral or even eating before citing judgement causes judges to become more lenient. Quetiapine can increase risky decision making. Most of these effects are temporary, i.e. once food has been eaten the judges judgement return to normal, similarly with fluoxetine once it is out of the persons system for 15 days. Behavioural changes subside. One class of drugs which shows to change decision making in normal people are the long term are psychedelics.
