Source?

>You can have great sleep, diet, and exercise habits and still develop major depression which increases your inflammatory markers.

I agree

>Lesser forms of depression can get better with or even treated with working out and better sleep but not major depression.

In your post you keep on referring to different forms of depression.

Major depressive disorders is just the name for basic normal depression. All the other types are worse or specialist types of depression.

>platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio is one of the biomarkers for inflammation. Exercise, sleep, and diet don't affect that ratio. Only major depression does. Your assumptions are wrong here.

Seems like exercise does acutely effect the ratio.

>Compared to NLR, far less evidence is available on the PLR in the context of exercise. Of the five studies investigating the impact of acute exercise on the PLR, three showed increased values post-exercise, indicating an inflammatory response

>It doesn't mention the type of depression and it only REDUCES not completely treats major depression.

Again major depression is the normal basic depression everyone is talking about. If it was some other type they would specify.

The current view is nothing "cures" depression. So pretty much every study will just talk about treating it.

>When someone is cured from an illness, it means it’s gone forever. Some illnesses can’t be cured—like diabetes. Once a person gets diabetes, they’ll have it for the rest of their life. But even a lifelong illness like diabetes can be treated. People who take their medications regularly and make some lifestyle changes can live long and healthy lives. These medications and lifestyle changes are treatments for diabetes.

>Meds are needed in many cases especially for major depression due to chemotherapy. You sound like you're playing doctor.

Sure people can use meds. It's like when I cut myself, I might take a painkiller. While it isn't fixing the underlying issue, it does help.

>The fact that you would post stuff that doesn't prove your point and yet be too illiterate to understand what you are reading is wild

You are the one who thinks that "major" depression is like some super duper serious form of depression, rather than just the medical name for basic clinical depression.

You are the one who doesn't know that every study on depression treatment will just talk about treating it rather than curing it.
