It is estimated that 14.8 million Americans suffer from major depressive disorder, 6 million of whom are older adults. If you include the anxiety disorders that often accompany depression, that number jumps to 40 million adults.
Depression later in life tends to last longer and be more severe than when you were younger. It is also associated with a high suicide rate. It was previously thought that major depression was secondary to a deficiency of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly monoamines such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.
Although changes in these important mood-related neurotransmitters are seen in major depression, there is growing evidence that the primary cause is low-grade chronic brain inflammation.
This special article provides a detailed review of the functions and effects of various drugs on depression and neurodegeneration.

Current recommendations for adult vaccination by the CDC include a total of 14 separate doses of an infectious agent and a potent immune adjuvant.
According to CDC recommendations, multiple vaccinations for a single disease should be spaced no more than four weeks apart, which is enough time to trigger a smoldering process of brain inflammation and excitotoxicity, depression, Not only can it cause anxiety, high suicide rates, but it can also increase the risk of developing any of the neurodegenerative diseases.
We also learned that in many cases, people are injected with multiple vaccines during a single visit. This means that the person's body is exposed to a very large amount of immune adjuvant. Compelling studies using many animal species as well as humans show that this can overactivate inflammatory mechanisms in the brain, which can last for years.
