People often get depressed when things don't go well. There are things that can contribute to depression. For example, aspartame, the artificial sweetener in diet drinks can lead to depression. Several years ago my husband started drinking diet drinks and after a while he was feeling really down. I found out about the aspartame and he quit drinking the diet drinks and almost immediately he started feeling better. Also, sunshine is great for battling depression. I know part of my problem is I do not get outside enough. Taking a vitamin B complex really helps and a omega-3 fatty acid or cod liver oil. I will never take any prescription medicines.....I saw what they did to my mother and grandmother. I go the natural route. I am 59 years old and have not been to a doctor in 15+ years. I do need to lose weight but other than that I have been very healthy. Of course all my Yorkie babies keep me busy. I know depression is a very serious problem for many people and one should seek help if it is serious enough. |
