Interesting thoughts. To your list of "infection, toxins, and inflammation" I would add: addictive substances, and behaviours that are short-run relief but long-term trouble. I believe I've heard of some antibiotics relieving depression. I am sure that behaviour, and perhaps treating infection is a sort of behaviour, modifies brain chemistry just as much as changing brain chemistry modifies behaviour. The question is, where to start? Or which is easier? As Alan Watts said, "Do You Do It, or Does It Do You?"....
