Sorry, Bill... maybe I should've said good counseling from good counselors.

Hard to find, granted, but worth their weight in gold when you do.

Well said! Whatever the specific cause(s), anything that creates long periods of high stress or traumas of all kinds can bring on changes within us that result in depression.

<t>What an interesting article! Thanks for posting that. Doesn't it seem a bit of a paradox? I mean, I believe we need to care for and nurture the earth by such methods as stopping pollution, etc. Yet new, or rather, as yet undiscovered life forms are cropping up. To borrow a phrase from the movie ...

<t>I feel I need to make some clarification here. Clinical depression involves a chemical imbalance in the brain which contributes to one's negative and/or confused thinking. In my case, the Prozac I take acts on the neurotransmitter serotonin. I do believe that a combination of meds and counseling ...

Same here. I hope that doctors now realize that kids can get serious depression as well as teens and adults.

<t>There is quite a lot of good information on the 'Net about depression and related disorders. I need to look up some sites again, as my puter died and I lost all my links but when I get some bookmarked I'll post them. But you're right, koan, there should be much more for loved ones of people with ...

It's been a recurring struggle since but I have found that with support from others who have gone/are going through similar things, it is ...

<t>Are there any other crocheters out there? That is my main craft-type hobby. I also knit a little (would like to learn more) and dabble in painting on whiteware.

Armand it is, then.

I love the name Lestat for a black tom.

Most people who have... um.. met Percy are certain his name is really Percyfur which "coincidentally" rhymes with Lucif... er... you get the idea.

Hmmm... I wonder which name Anne Rice would pick?

Also, it might be a good idea to inclue a sub-forum under Health for specifically Mental Health topics/issues. 
 
Thanks!
