Renae - Depression can be inherited, but can also be situational. In
other words - people can become seriously depressed because of an event
in their lives - illness, loss, death of a loved one. Many years ago a
neurologist explained to me that the mind and body are closely linked,
and a major trauma or illness can effect your mind. As far as
determining which chemical is missing - I don't know if there are any
tests available. They are findig that chocolate helps to raise serontin
levels - Ann

OH, JOHN! JOHN! JOHN!

If I can quit laughing long enough at the funny parts of your post,
(which I
always enjoy everything you write LOL), I want to ask you about familial
depression (inherited) and can depression be caused by trauma? I don't
have
tm. I never had depression either until head, neck, back, shoulder, etc.
injury in head on MVA. I was unaware that all the symptoms were
depression
(still believe more have to do with injuries which cause depression!)
yet they
are the same symptoms down to the muscles, etc.

My G.P. has tried me on everything from zoloft to elavil to paxil to the
one
like zyban and i cannot hold them down and am down to under 100#s. I
have had
insomnia since the accident and much memory loss, nerve pathway loss,
etc. in
eyes, etc. from concusion, I guess. Ya'll's tm tips have helped me a
lot,
too!

Don't I like need a test of my brain or something so they can tell which
chemical it's lacking (got too much of, whatever)? or something besides
trial
and error?

Thanking you in advance!

Renae
