I think Dr. Canli would agree with you. He's arguing that bacterial infections or viral infections or parasites can cause inflammation, which in turn can cause depression. I suffer from an inflamed colon at times, and when my colon becomes inflamed, my depression worsens. When my colon improves, so does my depression. Last fall I suffered from bronchitis for several weeks. When my lungs were inflamed, I became severely depressed. As my lungs improved, so did my depression.
