Depression is likely to have many possible underlying causes.

It’s a description of a persistent set of symptoms not necessarily any specific biological process.

When your normal lymphatic processes (and glymphatic processes) are slowed, or near-halted.

Can you link any evidence supporting this claim?

Calling it lymphatic impairment would be more straightforward.

		Lymphatic inefficiency, maybe. Impairment sounds too permanent, when this is often an intermittent, “on average” sort of issue - not a complete freeze.

It might be worth using those words rather than detox inefficiency because the latter conjures thoughts of woo peddlers.

		Yes, it turns out toxins (environmental, die-off and waste of cells from infection, dietary, lifestyle) are important to everyone, not just vegans in Sandler movies.
