I strongly believe that depression is 80% mental (conscious and controllable) and 20% physical (chemical) in 99% of individuals. I've seen a lot of evidence to corroborate that position, but very little for the opposite.
If you had to place a percentage, as I have above, on how much depression is physical vs mental, how would you place them?
And do you have any recent information (preferably scholarly journals, preferably online) that provide evidence for a direct physical causation?
