Oddly enough, this time when I clicked on the article I got the full version, so maybe some are in front of the paywall or they give an allowance. In reading it through, there is some pretty important information about depression. Reminds me a bit of cancer in the sense that it is one pathological term that can actually describe many variations of the pathology. And like cancer, knowing the specifics of the pathology determines very different treatment regimens. This is actually harder for depression, but it makes sense why it can be hard to treat. Serotonin reuptake inhibitors may not work if one has an inflammation cause. One has to treat the inflammation. Really good article. Eat healthy and exercise and sleep well!
