The conclusion generated controversy in the academic world and more controversies than any other recent neuroscience article. So understand what the covered points were in the study and what the main causes of depression would be:
The study reveals that depression may not be caused by a cerebral chemical imbalance
For decades, the most accepted explanation for the causes of depression was the so called “hypothesis of serotonin”, a theory that suggests that the Depression is associated with reduced levels of serotonin in the brain. The hypothesis emerged in the 1960s, based on the observation of antidepressant remedies, such as Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil. The logic was: if the selective reuptake inhibitors of serotonin (SSR) increased the levels of this neurotransmitter in the synaptic crack and the function for many patients, the cause of the depression could be …
