by "any" you mean both drugs and treatments like Shock therepy?

cause you know both of those have been proven to regrow the hippocampus region in the brain, and re stimulate it to function differently.

depression isn't "all in the mind" it's in the brain itself. chemicals that are proven to not be present, or be present in very small amounts, a smaller than normal hippocampus region, and a biological way of interacting with the world that is actually compound by the chemicals in the brain that are created when you do specific behaviors.

Buddhist monks, specifically tibettian, but several others have also been tested, have brains that function chemically differently when they have been in training for 10ish years or more. the brain sends out different levels of dopamene when in meditation, literally like getting "high" a bit, and that behavior causes the brain to change chemically, which then causes the person to perceive the world differently, which increases their production of dopomine, and start it all over.

Drugs and electric shock, and potentially magnetism all have testable, lab recreated results on the brain, not just "wishful thinking", or placebo.
