There is reactive depression to life events yes but there is also clinical depression which they think is a more chemical imbalance 'they' haven't a clue anx, that theory is trotted out with many others, we'd have a unified approach to treating it if they knew owt. I have no idea if I am correct but I suspect there will be a correlation between population density and depression. |

While there is big money to be made from treating illness, chronic health conditions like sever depression and a whole host of other so called incurable diseases will continue to exist.
Yet how can people challenge the disgraceful lack of effectiveness of doctors in combating disease, when everybody treats them like Gods? At the end of the day for all the faith we put in doctors, we walk out of the surgery with a prescription for a drug that we might as well but in the bin for all the good it will do us in most cases. |

Although I shouldn't be too hard on GPs, for at the end of the day their guess at what causes most common diseases is a good as anyone else's.

Haven't read all this, can't even remember what my symptoms were, but I wasn't feeling right, went to the Doc & he must of known what it was straight away as he sent me for a blood test but I had to be the last in as it had to be to the lab within 2 hours. Came back fine apart from 1 thing - severe vitamin D deficiency. So he prescribed a concentrated dose of vitamin D tablets for 10 weeks and that was roughly how long it took to get back to feeling myself again. Now I take a supplement everyday. Evidently we don't get enough sun in this country for our vitamin D needs.

My 14 year old daughter, last year, was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency, despite having played tennis most days during the long summer holidays and having returned from a three week holiday in Spain when it was scorchio every day! It is very common by all accounts but it concerns me as to why or how she is deficient because I am CERTAIN it's not a lack of sunshine in her case.

Many did and huge credit to them, there will not be many anecdotes about the ones who crumbled because they were not as strong.

Depression is a very serious medical issue which sadly carries a stigma with the older generation.
Robin Williams was a multi millionaire with the world at his feet who sadly gave in to this dreadful disease. It can attack anybody regardless of their wealth and social status and is a serious problem. Sorry to hear about your best mate giggilo. |

I remember reading, when quite young, someone saying that the most dangerous weapon on earth we had to deal with was the human brain.
Never understood that until I got older. |
