dear Garden Gal, i have been using a new'ish technology for about 5 yrs and it has made a world of difference in the depth of my depression. it's called CenterPointe auditory therapy,,, where i listen to a CD with stereo earphones for an hour a day, every day. it increases in strength every 6 months or so, and helps the brain reconnect the two sides by regrowing new nerve connections,, i know it sounds hard to believe, but it is frequently a complete cure for depression , if used rigorously for the full length of time (6 yrs). it's about $50/month average. you can find it on the web at CenterPointeResearchInst.com i know the site looks like a hoax, but i know several other people who have had the same results i have. i hope you find something that works,, Gus
