So, a bust for the theory. We are back to "nobody knows what causes depression."

P R Sarkar proposed in 1986 a new concept that could lead to such a theory. It is the microvitum, or in plural, microvita. Some of the properties of microvita are described below.
Microvita are living, sub-microscopic, indivisible entities whose function is to organise energy into the structures and processes we call matter, living protoplasmic organisms, and minds. Microvita are themselves aware, having subjective experience, as well as having objective properties that may be determined through research, both empirical and mental. Microvita live, reproduce and die. They may be positive, negative or neutral. Microvita move unbarred throughout the universe, creating matter and individual minds, as well as destroying them. Thousands of millions of microvita compose a carbon atom, according to Sarkar. So microvita may compose individual electrons as well. The number of microvita in a single electron could be in the millions, or perhaps even less than a million. Microvita can travel through various sensory modalities, as well as through mind, and can convey information from one mind to another. Positive microvita are responsible for the evolution of living protoplasmic beings and individual minds, and for maintaining good physical and mental health. Negative microvita evolve material structures such as sub-atomic particles out of energy, and direct the mind towards matter. Microvita may also be neutral in their effects.

Disease and health can be understood in a new light through microvita. Health is a result of a proper balance or psycho-physical parallelism between the waves of the body and the mind. Physical or mental disease is caused by an excess of negative microvita. Positive microvita are therefore necessary to fight the disease-causing negative microvita and restore health. Medical treatment should supply positive microvita to the patient through various means to help the body's natural healing processes
Millions of microvita may compose one electron.
