"Treatment of" vs "Treatment for"

Hi,

I cannot understand what's the difference!

Here:

Seventeenth-century scholar Robert Burton may have anatomized
melancholy, but the definitions, diagnoses and treatments of and for
depression are still hotly debated by the pharmaceutical industry,
psychiatry, psychology and affected citizens.

Any help is really appreciated, thanks!

A patient receives treatment for his specific condition. I give a talk to other doctors on the treatment of Hodgkin's disease (=the presentation/discussion of a subject), as I am an expert in this field.
