with the vast amount of chemicals floating around in the brain, no one knows (And thats not an excuse to not experiment, im all for furthering science)
You simply aren't getting the picutre, sometimes the basic chemistry of the brain is just not right. There is nothing to "get over" there is no event that caused it, there is no trauma waiting to be dealt with, there is simply a malfunctioning body organ.

A schizophrenic or epileptics brain will not get better on its own, just as a clinically depressed persons brain won't.

You are mixing up being sad with clinical depression, they are not the same; you would be right if you were talking about being sad, but you are not.
