Re: Depression (Clinical)
Depression seems to have been very popular the last 20 years or so. I have been diagnosed with it numerous times and put on every new anti-depressant that comes along. They have all made me very sick with the clinical diagnosis of depression: headaches, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, loss of appetite, general malaise. I have tried St. Johns Wort--same result. Every time I have given up on an anti-depressant, I have given up on the prescribing doctor. I've become known as a "collaborative" patient. I love euphemisms.
I did finally diagnose my "depression" all by myself. I'm not going to say what it is beyond a vitamin deficiency, because I don't want people to assume that I have found a solution that will work for them. I don't even want to describe my methodology, since it's open to misinterpretation. I want people to keep trying to find their own individual solutions.
To quote "Monty Python's Life of Brian:" "Don't follow me. Don't follow anybody. You've got to think for yourself!"

p.s. I believe very strongly in medical doctors. It's just that I also believe in myself.
