I have been suffering from depression for quite awhile now and I was wondering if anyone knew of a depression cure. I would like to give something a try that you have heard to cure depression.

Sueblue recommended The Ultramind Solution by Dr. Mark Hyman on another thread. I have listened to the audio version and it explains how the brain works and how to mend it with the right foods, vitamins and minerals, relaxation and a bit of exercise. It is comprehensive and easy to understand and apply. I am also attaching a link for Claire Weekes - she is excellent http://www.controllinganxiety.com/dsp_downloads.php |

Uncovered,
Books, cds, yada yada, will give you some relief from depression...
BUT...they are like taking an aspirin...they help a little with the headache, but do NOTHING for the TUMOR!
Until you get down to the emotional trauma(s) that CAUSED the depression and work through them, the TUMOR is NOT going away!
You need to find a LIVE person that's EXPERIENCED in dealing with depression!
Don't waste your time and money on light-weight stuff that covers up effects...
Go for uncovering and Dealing with the CAUSE!
It takes some Courage...but you CAN do it!
Just have the INTENTION to do so!

Uncovered,
P.S. Please do NOT give in to the INSANITY of taking so-called "anti-depressants" ...how many suicides and mass murders have NOT convinced the so-called "experts" that drugs do MUCH more harm than good!

A nutritionist told me that a lot of what passes for "depression" is in fact either an undiagnosed physical condition or a dietary deficiency. B12 supplements help in many cases where it is the latter. It is important to see a proper medical doctor and/or nutritionist to see if a medical (as opposed to psychiatric) condition is underlying the depression. I know someone who was up and down like a yoyo for years until diabetes was finally diagnosed.
I agree with Ruben...antidepressants are not a good idea. They are the first step on the slippery slope to dependency and side effects.

B-12 felt good when I took it today, but how much is too much. THe B-12 pills are usually 1200% daily value. Is that good for you? I mean maybe my body needs more of that?

Seeker, I'm glad the B12 helped you. This leads me to think a change of diet could be a good start. If you are following the recommended number of vitamin pills printed on the label of the bottle you can't overdose yourself, if that's what you are worried about. I pointed out that you should see a doctor or nutritionist for an assessment of your general health and diet. If you find someone who knows what they are talking about (and the ones who say you don't need supplements generally don't), he or she will be able to answer your questions. This survey might give you a rough idea what supplements you need to take: http://www.vittest.com/ |

Hi Uncovered, Personally, I think that medication therapy does have its' place in the treatment of depression, just as it has its' place in other illnesses/conditions...a lot of the success of a therapy (drug or otherwise) has a lot to do with the trust and confidence you have in your health professional. I'm of the opinion that this would be a question best posed to your health professional, although there's not a thing wrong with asking your peers what their thoughts are, as well.  Weighing in, as usual. KathyD |

I just spent 5 minutes looking up how our "Health Professionals" are doing. Here's the results: America's healthcare-system-induced deaths are the third leading cause of the death in the U.S., after heart disease and cancer. • 12,000 deaths per year due to unnecessary surgery • 7000 deaths per year due to medication errors in hospitals • 20,000 deaths per year due to other errors in hospitals • 80,000 deaths per year due to infections in hospitals • 106,000 deaths per year due to negative effects of drugsAdded up...that's 225,000 or a quarter MILLION deaths A YEAR at the hands of our so-called "Health Professionals"....  Trust and confidence  Not from THIS little black duck! (quote from Daffy Duck) |

Hey Ruben, I happen to have complete confidence in the health professionals that *I* choose to work with regarding my own personal situation. If you don't have enough faith in your reasoning abilities in regards to your health choices, that's your deal...as far as I can see, other folks like to make their own choices regarding the options/therapies provided to them, natural or otherwise. Personally, I think a quote from an ostrich might have been a better choice of fowl representation for your post... KathyD |

Hey KathyD, I agree with you...other folks like to make their own choices regarding health options. And, they SHOULD! Should they not also be given the FACTS of how successful the "treatment" is that they are choosing? Should they NOT be told that HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people DIE each year from this "treatment" ... so they can make a more informed choice of what treatment to do? My "reasoning ability" leads me to Research EVERYTHING I do... ESPECIALLY when it comes to my HEALTH! If researching FACTS and Figures somehow makes me an ostrich with my head in the sand...it makes me wonder what YOUR head is in |

Ruben,
It's not you researching facts and figures that makes you an ostrich, that just makes you boring. What makes you an ostrich, is the fact that you ignore or bad mouth other types of treatments that may (or may not) help others with their issues, merely because you disagree with their usage.
It is my sincere hope that Uncovered explores all the options (natural or otherwise) that are available in the treatment of depression.
Pretty much, that's about all I've got to say on this matter and I'm done with it, Ruben.
KathyD
