Is clinical depression a real, biological illness?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Clinical depression: is as real illness. The etiology, origin, of it is not clear. It most-likely has a biological base but interacts w/lifestyle and attitude. So, a healthy lifestyle of a good food plan, exercise, focusing on life-giving topics and friends, all help. Peace and good health.
