Is There a Cause of Depression and Anxiety?
Rajesh: I read in an article somewhere in a newspaper that the latest scientific research shows that certain bacteria in the gut affects a gene regulator in the brain which causes anxiety. Can this be also a cause? If possible, it would be great if you may throw some light on the latest research findings about causes of anxiety and depression and their cure. Zli: We do know for a fact that people are depressed and anxious. Think about themselves in a negative distorted way. But that's not the cause of depression in the sense of the pathology of depression and anxiety. It's just how anxiety and depression are created by the brain through these negative thoughts.
