Not enough is done in the research and treatment of depression/mental illness. After my mother died I was going to research it myself as she suffered depression in her later years, but saddly I never did. I hope I never get it again. I had a dose of it back in the 80's.<br />I used to cope with bush walks but that time it would only work for a short period then I would fall back into the hole of despair. It is weird, even though I knew what was happenning to me I couldn't do anything to make me feel better. Luckily I had a fab GP who understood how I felt. He treated with a variety of drugs until he hit on one that had a positive effect, I can't remember the name of it now. I also had a month off work and went to the Barrier Reef for a holiday. Luckily I've never had it since. I didn't even have anything to be depressed about but I did have a lot on my plate at that time.diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.com
