People with major depressive disorder are much more likely to have immune disorders such as lupus and chronic fatigue syndrome than people who are not depressed. This suggests strongly that major depressive disorder reduces the body's ability to fight infection, because primary infections are thought to cause many of these immune disorders.
Which of the following is an assumption required by the argument above?
1. People who are depressed do not tend to overstate the severity of their symptoms.
2. People with major depressive disorder are less careful than others about protecting themselves from infection.
3. Major depressive disorder does not usually have a very sudden onset.
4. Immune disorders do not cause major depressive disorders in many people.
5. Many immune disorders are known to have causes other than primary infections.
