Welcome back to our four-part special on Depression. (Be sure to check out last week's episode if you haven't already where we cover major myths, core symptoms and why humans have the capacity to get depressed to begin with).

In today's episode we turn our attention to the clinical-proven causes of depression and how this informs our treatment of it.

Along the way we cover topics such as:

- How depression can be caused by inflammation

- The loss of pleasure and sex drive associated with the disease

- Why depression makes you want to withdraw

- Circadian rhythms, sleep and body clocks

- The role stress and sex hormones plays in depression

- Why a "miracle drug" doesn't exist

- And a Dr Steve Debunk™ on the idea of "Chemical Imbalances" (spolier alert: it was invented by marketers).

Check it out!
