They all do, no doubt about it.

Maybe not in by some chemical mechanism, but give me any ailment for 8 months and i'm going to be depressed.

Babesia causes depression. It is a feeling of complete despair as if there is no point to anything. Rowlings describes depression in Harry Potter with the "dementors" .

Some people do not experience typical babesia symptoms such as fever and sweats. I didn't but I tested positive for it and now it is so obvious.
