RE: Incredible! Scientists are getting close to a vaccine against anxiety and depression!
That actually sounds crazy but should it be a vaccine since depression and anxiety are not disease, anyway anything to reduce the depression rate in the world is welcome.
well, it's a vaccine in the sense of the word that it prevents it.
And it is a disease, just a mental disease, not caused by a virus or a bacteria.
Always thought diseases are caused by viruses and bacterias. Thanks for the enlightenment
Well, the physical usually are. But you also have things like genetic diseases. Or diseases that are essentially the effect of aging or bad health decision - like obesity for example.
And then you have the mental diseases, which can be caused by genetics, bad lifestyle, bad life decision, the environment or just society in general.
Could we say any disorder with the body is a disease
