The connection between inflammation and depression is so well known to researchers that scientists inject animals with pro-inflammatory substances to induce depression.
Depression is on the rise around the world and, according to one author, the World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that approximately 300 million people worldwide suffer from this debilitating disorder
Author, Amy Morin, LCSW, wrote in her article, Depression Statistics Everyone Should Know, that in the United States alone, 16.2 million adults have experienced a major depressive episode in the past year.
Dr.Kelly Brogan’s paper outlined the strong possibility that the aluminum adjuvant that is currently being used in at least 18 childhood vaccinations may be responsible for the increase in long-term brain inflammation, neurological complications and autoimmunity. She stated that:
“One of the most relevant aluminum-containing vaccines is Gardasil, responsible for more than 34000 reported adverse events,and now Gardasil 9, which contains twice the aluminum dose (ie, now with 500 μg per 3 recommended doses).”
In general, although depression is a disorder that is usually associated with adults, a growing number of children are also being diagnosed with this debilitating disorder. The Depression Perception website have stated that, approximately 2.5% of all US children suffer from depression and according to their statistics, childhood depression is on the increase.
