To make mice depressed they will do a forced swimming test (poor mice). So this is another way to induce depression: physical+psychological stress.
If there were good science with good funding it's feasible to come up with a lab test for depression--and anxiety--that's very, very accurate.
No, the article is incorrect. It does not have citations either. Explore pubmed for plenty of information. (Keep in mind the sad reality is that even good science is wrong lots of the time--I'm hedging, okay most of the time.)
The risks of not properly treating depression and anxiety is very, very high. So the article is very irresponsible in my opinion.
That doesn't really have any bearing on the accuracy of the article. PTSD is also associated with reduced hippocampal volume, which reverses with successful treatment. It isn't as if the hippocampus suddenly shrinks for no apparent reason...
>So this is another way to induce depression: physical+psychological stress.
The article is talking about psychological stress, so you're really just discussing the same underlying cause.
>No, the article is incorrect. It does not have citations either. Explore pubmed for plenty of information.
I don't see how it is incorrect. It is just discussing the problem at a systems level rather than a biochemical level. Both explanations can be correct.

On the contrary, I think it's very irresponsible to dismiss articles like this out of hand, as that will likely prevent people from seeking the correct treatment.
