Was this the link you were trying to share @Swordfish? https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/oct/13/the-link-between-stress-and-depression-and-the-10-simple-words-that-could-help
It was a really interesting read and I'll be trying to keep the ten words in mind. "Face your fears. Be more active. Watch what you drink.”
Thank you for sharing.

It's instructive to consider what we know about the brain and some of the wrong that has been done because specialists claim to know all when that is by no means the case. The Nature versus Nurture dichotomy was absolute at one time but has now morphed into knowledge that whatever one's genetic make-up the brain develops via experience.
The article to which Swordfish refers explores how Neurological insights into how the brain processes stress, and how it can develop into depression, have led to new interventions. But the old interventions are still there and are still being advocated:

In short, insights into how the brain processes stress and how it can develop into depression are at odds with the way experts depended on to treat depression tend to view the situation. -
