"Morphological and electrical activity changes in the brain along with neuroendocrine and autonomic abnormalities occur in MDD and BD. It is more than simply a change in mood."
The same thing occurs with borderline patients, or so the research I've read indicates. It's pretty amazing how childhood emotional development can change how our brains work based upon the temperment we were born with...
I don't want to throw this thread off topic, but at the same time, I wondered why you might have pointed out the difference of 'psychological' depression and 'biological' depression in terms of disability...The treatments provided are the same for both, the symptoms much the same. THis is because they are usually a combination of the 2-not one or the other.
ps my relative on disability has a 'biological' illness-bipolar-on top of a 'psychological' one, and takes mood stabilizing drugs like most everyone here.
