I personally think the common thread in the cause of all cases of depression is a combination of a biological predisposition with a lack of proper nurture that disrupted healthy development and gave the genetic predisposition an environment in which it could thrive. I understand there are underlying infections/illnesses that can cause chronic depression, I just do not believe that these are the most common causes. Also, someone that has a genetic predisposition and suffered from a toxic neglectful childhood, is probably more likely to suffer from depression brought on by an illness/chronic infection. This is also the case with postpartum depression(studies have actually given strong evidence for this).
