Most depression (if not all) is caused by trauma and unprocessed traumatic memories. Inflammation is just another symptom.

Yeah, no.

Depression hit me like a truck out of nowhere in the autumn of 4th grade. Nothing traumatic happened, was a happy kid, just boom, everything went from color to black-and-white practically overnight.

Sometimes genetics just sucks.

??? Um… nope. That is Not accurate. Trauma impacts the microbiome. A jacked up microbiome informs generalized inflammation leading to many other known (and some yet to be discovered) diseases and disorders. There is so much research with findings like this.
