Study questions religion-depression link

2. Agree with you.

I think there are way too many variables to draw legitimate conclusions about this.

I did find it interesting that woman who develop depression at younger ages have withdrawn from their religious organizations. It's just not clear whether they withdrew because they were depressed or whether they became depressed after they withdrew.

And the lack of any correlation in males is also interesting.

But none of it is very conclusive or convincing.
