In most cases, I am inclined to view brain inflammation as a consequence of depression rather than its cause. However, once the immune system is triggered by depression, I should think that it would make the depression more severe or treatment-resistant. There might be a sort of positive feedback loop operating. Not good. Of course, systemic inflammation is another story. Sometimes, an infection can trigger or make worse a depressive episode in people who already have MDD or BD. I have seen this occur on multiple occasions.
