Thanks for sharing Wolf. The article is quite generic however IMHO. Medication is usually used as a front line measure to treat Depression that I dont readily agree with. If a person is drinking alcohol at the same time, the effectiveness of the medication is questionable, as I have been told by a healthcare proffessional. Sometimes it works...sometimes it doesnt.
Given individual cases, Mild to moderate excercise and exposure to sunlight have been proven by documented studies to offer the same relief as meds...again depending upon indiviual's and circumstances. My healthcare proffessional has offered this option to me in the treatment of my clinical depression. I am seeing noticeable relief. I have also stopped drinking as well.
I Whole-Heartedly agree, Alcohol can indeed deepen depression drastically! The first and foremost line of treatment in this case is of course, stop drinking !
Admittedly...I'am not a big "Pill Fanantic" and donot care to take anymore than absolutely neccessary.
BTW...are you a "Lost" fan ?
