Depression Support Group

Hugs , all!

I know not everyone wants to be taking medications which re-adjust your brain chemistry, but there WAS a very interesting Q&A show with some shrinks on the panel, a few months ago---

And they believe, with some work that is being done in genome mapping, and brain mapping, that they might be able to prescribe THE EXACT RIGHT chemical FOR YOUR BRAIN, individual, totally personalized prescriptions, to help with this, and other mental illnesses---and it could happen in the next ten years.

Then, no fiddling with hunt & peck meds---no more guinea pig patients---no more wondering and waiting.

That would be really great.

Until then, I soldier on with everyone else

Oh, and only the individual, and close personal acquaintances, can probably assess when someone is really "cured".

I don't know if doctors are in a position yet to declare such a thing.

We knows our own minds, desires, wellness levels.

thanks for the article Uhm,very interesting.i have suffered from depression for as long as i can remember.for me it has taken constant therapy,meds and a great big kick me in the ass friends when i need it.it would be great if they came up with a cure but like Azure said only the people closest to us would really know.you know that saying what is behind closed doors.....

Thanks for the article, gives me a perspective on the past, present and future of my relationship with this diagnosis.

For me it seems that my depression has become my best friend! It's nice to know there is a reason behind how come some of us still suffer after being on treatment for a while. I must say the article was very interesting to read. I guess I will continue to take it one day at a time. Good thng I like rollercoasters!!!
