If you have never been tested to determine if you may be missing the enzymes in the stomach that metabolize Vitamin B9 (folate) or folic acid into folate which can cross
the blood-brain barrier and help with serotonin manufacture and neurotransmitters,
please ask your psychiatrist to permit you to start taking a product call Deplin if he
thinks it might help.

For years I've fought depression and was never content with medications until I
learned about Deplin and requested a prescription for it from my psychiatrist. It was
prescribed without having genetic testing done because my psychiatrist felt that if it
helped, we'd know soon enough and there'd be no need for genetic testing.

I'm taking 15 mg per day. It's a food med and it provides a form of folate that does cross the blood-brain barrier and serves to build serotonin neurotransmitters and increase serotonin in the brain ---that's the "feel good" neurotransmitter. I wouldn't be without it for my well-being.

If you want some information for reading, I'd suggest the following things that I've read
and refer to from time to time for good feeling tone (there are literally millions of
works out there that are directed at meditation for mood improvement):

"Forgiving and Moving On"
"Keep It Simple"
"Around the Year With Emmet Fox"
"The One Year Mini for Women" (Daily Inspiration)
"The One Year Book of Quiet Times with God" (365 devotional readings)

Meditation is one of the strongest ways to help with relief from depression.

Some of us are very sensitive to images we see. I have to be extremely careful about
things that appear on television because I seem to remember things so clearly sometimes that are not good for our psyche. I suspect that some of them might bother you, too, if you're sensitive as I think you might be.

Hope this helps a little.
