> Mood Disorders are not fundamentally neurological, I am sorry to say, but in fact they are immune disorders which affect neurology

This is interesting to me, thank you. The gut-brain link is fascinating.

Have you read "The Body Keeps the Score"? There are some absolutely shocking stats in that book about the correlation between early childhood trauma and mood disorders. You may find the stuff about EMDR and reconnecting with the body interesting. That said, BPD is often an outlier; as in, it doesn't respond the same as most others.

... I'm not an expert. But, I think the author of that book would agree with you on the difficulty of presenting new information to doctors/neurologists/psychiatrists. It seems to require a lot of resilience.

Your are welcome.

Yes, I have read Mate's book. I assure you my fcked up childhood was one part of the problem but my genetic risk combined with a "farmer's diet" is a greater factor for me, even more so in relation to my cardiovascular and autoimmune health.

I do have a feeling that genetics is even more important than trauma and that the correlation between the two is found because of the genetics.
