If you believe that there are people who are "mad" and people who are "sane" and that anyone could "go mad", then my question to you is:
What would happen if EVERYONE went mad?
It is perfectly possible to be severely depressed without any genetic or chemical factors in play.
Therefore there cannot be a genetic or chemical basis to depression.
