Yes, this. IMHO, there are two type of depression, both immune mediated, and both drive my glutamate/GABA imbalance. One is high glutamate the other is high GABA, either effecting different region of the brain.

This imbalance affects serotonin and norepinephrine release.

And this change is mediated by the immune system. Glutamate is now known as an immunomodulator.
