#Depression doesn’t always start in the mind.
Sometimes it starts with an infection
Tick-borne infections like
● #Lyme
● #Bartonella
● #Babesia
● and #Mycoplasma 
These infections directly affect the brain and nervous system triggering 
#depression #anxiety mood change #MoodSwings
emotional numbness. #emotionalnumbness
These infections can:
Cause chronic #neuroinflammation Disrupt serotonin & dopamine signaling Reduce oxygen delivery to the brain Activate stress (HPA) pathways Damage the blood-brain barrier
Too many people are misdiagnosed with:
Major depressive disorder #MDD Bipolar disorder #bipolardisorder Anxiety or panic disorder #anxiety #panic Personality disorders #personalitydisorder
…without ever asking what’s driving the inflammation 
Standard testing misses many cases
Co-infections often aren’t tested
Antibodies can fade or never appear
Depression can be a biological warning sign — not a personal failure.
Please share.
You never know who needs to see this.
