Answer by Mad Mac
I entered “clinical depression/current research” in a Yahoo! web search and found several pertinent links. A thorough discussion of “Research on Depression” by James Hunter and NIMH can be accessed in, www.psychcentral.com/disorders/depressionresearch.htm…

There is no cure for depression as it is a normal emotion, one of 6-8 basic ones you are born with and you need it in order to live, as it is a natural signal to change course in your thinking, behavior and/or environment, which currently are not the best for you. It is only a disorder if prolonged and/or extreme when it is called clinical depression etc.

However this article treats depression materialistically as a “Chemical imbalance”. See the article referenced in source for an account of recent studies, which cast doubt on this.
