New research regarding clinical depression+my story- there's

Postby UV4D » Tue Apr 29, 2008 9:08 pm

Hello all, I am a fellow depressive. I suffered from depression since childhood, and I say this because my mother had told me that she'd ask the doctors why I slept soo much, and even the doctors said that the amount I slept was very unusual, but they couldn't figure out why. I was in my early 20s when I was finally officially diagnosed with major depression; the disease that ran through my father's side of the family. This all helped explain why I lead such an apathetic life. Always feeling tired, lethargic, and a lot of anger/sadness towards myself because I always felt like I kept letting everyone else down, because of my depression and the effects it had on me. I've spoken to shrinks but there was never anything they could tell me that I already didn't know. I've also been prescribed pretty much every pill out there that doctors use to treat depressives- some have worked, but after a little while I'd gain tolerance so the effects would wear off. Though, I am a pretty motivated person, so I did a lot of research on my own because the doctors didn't really help me all that much. 8 years later I got it figured out. Now, I just wanna make sure that everyone else knows what I know, so they can feel as I feel.
I made a little video explaining my theory and showing how to apply it safely.

This story of using vitamin D and sunlight to fight depression would probably work for many people with depression. Sunlight has been shown to help with depression. Maybe of great importance is that one has to get out of bed and move around to get the sunlight. Moving around is also good for depression. There may be something to taking the time to do something for ourselves. His method is worth a try.
