Depression: 2.b.a state of feeling sad

Sick 5 : lacking vigor

With the above defined I wonder if most people are not badly malnurished rather than mentally ill.

Here is an ad and response to our modern cure for depression.

Knowing what I do of biochemistry I conclude that the makers of this drug found one thing that works sometimes and ignore the additional symptoms, as with the other anti-depressants. Never mind that suicide does not occur without some severe cause for that reaction. Never mind that suicide has gone from somewhat negligent to bizarre Columbine homicidal levels.

Abilify and any anti-depressant scares me. I was even offered some in the hospital, no prescription.

I hate to be the subject of my own testing, but this is entirely on my own. I will seek funding for a more scientific means, but alas – until then.

Generally I am content and sometimes enthusiastic with friends, sometimes not. But sometimes I fall down to boredom and I just want to sleep the rest of the day away.

I recognized this feeling right after I take vitamins or eat a healthy meal when I come out of it.

I don’t notice that I fall to boredom when I eat fast food or drink lots of soda (except for the normal headache).

Typically every weekend I would consume approximately 1 gallon of Coke and I would have an incapacitating headache (9 or 10 on the 10-scale). It wasn’t until I was 18 (3 years) that I realized the soda and headaches were connected.

I had heard a saying “If you’re craving something but don’t know what it is, it’s Vitamin C.”

I’ve tried this and it seems to work about 70% of the time.  But, it the interests of science I also took B-complex a little less than half the time in addition.  I have taken B-Complex and salt alone 25% of the time and suffered through it the last 5% of the time.

While boredom is not the classical depression, I am also very active.

Summary:

Having lots of Vitamin C (I took 8000 mg) is a necessity (40lb dog generates 5,000 mg per day)

So I will have to conduct a depression test involving workouts, jogs and vitamins and nutritional foods on people with problems with being depressed.
