Something people don't realize is that depression medication will only treat the symptoms and not the causes. And most times it's more of a physical/bio-chemical problem than a mental one actually.

Read this. It has a lot of info on why depression is actually more of a nutritional disorder. I hope it will help you.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't know if you guys read anything from the link which I posted, but it has some real valuable information that may help you guys in depression. What the site is mainly about is a nutritional disorder that seemingly is one of the biggest underlying factors, if not the biggest. There are a lot of articles to read on this site that are very good and I advise you to read it if you are in depression.

All the articles are taken from the Hypoglycemic Association of Australia
Depression a nutritional disorder
Depression, A disease of energy production
Hit and Miss supplements for depression
What is Hypoglycemia
The Hypoglycemic Diet
Hypoglycemia, is it a 'cure-all' for mental illnesses?

Read these! It might help you a lot!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I don't know about that whole concept - frankly, I'm immediately pretty skeptical from that article - but what you eat affecting depression isn't exactly a new concept.

I don't find that quote odd at all. The thing is that many mainstream psychologists really think depression is only an effect of the "mysterious" and well "mythical" subconscious (because really, can you tell me what the subconscious is exactly?), and think every problem is just stored in your mind/subconscious. In academic settings the use of the word subconscious is actually regularly avoided because of it being such a loose term. Well I guess most people only think of depression just as a mental problem, while in most cases that may not be it.

It may not be a new concept, still I don't know that many who know of this being a big factor on mental health. Many times people don't realize it's the physical which is unwell and think can only think of it as mental ill-health. I'd say most people think of curing depression by pills or talk therapy, and well I'm not saying that is completely wrong, however I'd search for any physical ailments before trying pills.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
