He also doesn't consider that while not everyone's depression has a physical cause, for some people it does, or at least is one contributing factor. Depression ran in both sides of my family so the likelihood of a genetic link. He just unscientifically dismisses that possibility like he does the benefits of vaccinations.

Three of my cousins, and some of their off spring all are bipolar. Their father, my late uncle-by marriage was bipolar. That makes it seem fairly clear that it is an inherited illness.
