growing evidence? I am bit tired of "we are close to finding genes responsible for this and that... any decade now".

Grief and trauma "can cause" (likely, may, it's believed... fancy way of saying "we still don't know, but it could be that...") physical changes. Well, then you got neuroplasticity theories... that suggest that the physical can be changed (which would mean that all the "it's physical" doesn't mean all that much).

And again since the body of evidence is growing... why is not general well being growing as well? Why if we know the cause... why aren't we able to deal with it? We have fancy drugs... but do they really solve something?
