Why do you suggest the drop in violent behavior is a byproduct of neuroinflammation reduction, as opposed to being a byproduct of anhedonia which seems more obvious to me?

Good question!! thank you!

Because of this paper: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/behavioral-neuroscience...

(and having had twice the experience of autoimmune related illnesses making people close to me very aggressive until diagnosed and treated; and it was 1:1 always with things that made inflammation go up, aggression went up. In retrospect. And the opposite: things that reduced aggression always have an inflammation-reducing aspect)

Because anhedonia feels like a condition/symptom,

not a diagnosis.
