I am hopeful that this will lead to even more beneficial treatments for my daughter.
"There was a problem with a bad batch of L-tryptophan that killed half a dozen people - not available in the US any more (except by prescription I think)."
I bought L-tryptophan yesterday at Sprouts Market (Phoenix).
Most of the depressed ones are on pills already so different pills wouldn't be much of a change unless they work better. All of my mother in laws family (including my husband) have trouble with depression. My husband is not terribly depressed but some of the others are nuts. I hope this is good news for them.
Yes, and yes they would. If your interested in mental health this book is the best forty bucks I ever spent;

I don't believe this for a second
Perhaps you find depression getting worse with passing years and pleasant days coming more and more rarely. Perhaps you are difficult for others. Perhaps you have become stoic and self restrained because of impulsiveness, excitability, and unwillingness to lash out at others.
Speaking from experience.
Bipolar. Lamatrogine and carbamazepine can work wonders when added to depression treatment. This business is metabolic, like diabetes or epilepsy. Think a seizure of the emotions. Think of a life more than just duty and survival.
bump for publicity
Therapy? The drug dealers (err.....psychiatrists) will use this is an opportunity to line their pockets and make even more people dependent (err...."treated.") 43 percent of the population. Think of the money!
Could you say more?

Now under FDA trials. You might find this of interest.

Perhaps you might look at my #46.
You are not alone.
You may find my #46 interesting.
Thank you! We will half to wait and see if this trait is carried by Chelsey.
Thanks for the article. It goes along with some of what I discovered by trial and error - B vitamins good, carb-insulin-serotonin connection (eat complex carbs - I got over a series of panic attacks by always having whole wheat bread and a banana handy).

You might care for my #46. You are not alone.
The fact that you still feel terrible indicates to me that you might consider changing your meds. On top of that, I recommend CBT. Best of luck to you!
What would you like? I guess you believe depression is in the genes and you can't do anything about it. How about joy, is that in the genes? Laughter? Next they'll be saying being gay is in the genes.
Maybe there is no struggle in life. It's all in the genes and everybody should stop trying and get on medication. Note to all evolution, in 2006 human man discovered that we are powerless over our well being. It's over, the sky has fallen and all life will now stop
I cant believe you have that attitude toward psychiatrists. /sarcasm off
