I personally believe in the brain metabolism theory of depression. There are the 'depression circuits' that appear to dampen upon sucessful treatment with antidepressants.

Sleep deprivation, for instance, is not going to produce measurable neurogenesis in one night, but (in responders) it does lead to measurable alterations in regional metabolism.

They can also shut on and off depression in a matter of seconds with DBS. This also corresponds with alterations in brain metabolism.
