It is "Do You Lie in bed all day", not "do you lay" in bed all day?
The misuse of "Whom" for "who" and you are a doctor treating patients?

What is your source for information you're posting other than "Fox News" ? Much
of it seems to be quoted from sources, not from you own experience.

A certain negativity is at the heart of what you're suggesting, despite the fact that
it is an effort to help. For one thing depression can be inherited from a genetic
condition in which there are inabilities to breakdown certain foods to provide
serotonin which can be used by the brain. Enzymes that affect opiate centers
in the brain may be involved.

Psychiatrists are the experts who generally know what's best to treat depression,
and there are many people who live with depression who have learned their triggers
and conditions that help relieve depression, including changes in the diet that are helpful.

I'm sorry, but I don't buy these easily recommended theories knowing what I do about
people who have tried ketamine and other drugs you mention. The side effects of
some medications are serious and dangerous for a few.

One example of natural treatment for depression can be meditative work. Therapy
is another valid way to go, also. And especially the 70% of all depressed people
who have an inability to utilize folic acid because they lack the enzymes in the
stomach to manage folate so that it can cross the blood-brain barrier is an illustration
of one type of treatment that you completely ignore and is a valid form of help for those
whose genetic testing indicates that they need it.

I simply do not believe that you are a therapist or psychiatric physician or medical
doctor who is able to prescribe for depressed people.

Another factor you ignore is that strong stress is a creator of acidic conditions of the
fluids and tissues of the body and it can be relieved by the use of the simple lemon
squeezed into water and drunk at intervals.

You do not account for the fact that negativity is a loading for depression.

There is so very much that you ignore except the recommendation for extensive
use of psychotropic medications, ECT, or magnetic stimulation to treat depression.
I'm here to tell you that there are other just as effective means to work to either cure
or cause a remission in depression. There is a place for medication use in depression,
but that is best left to the advice of those experts who know how and what to administer.

One just doesn't go into a psychiatrist's office and request magnetic stimulation or ECT.,
Ketamine, etc. Usually, those things are recommended by the psychiatrist based on
careful knowledge and experience about people's needs who see psychiatrists.

Orthomolecular physicians also have a valid way to treat depression, bipolar illness, ADHD,
ADD, etc. Those are channels of help that have not been exercised, in my view, as much
as the pharmacological products that have been presented to psychiatrists and general practitioners for ways to help in depression (and almost every other illness, frankly).

It may turn out to be a highly debatable subject after all in science vs. natural healing
techniques and methods. I, for one, am becoming more and more interested in the
Chinese theories of depression and treatment through accupuncture. Maybe one of the
reasons some psychiatrists are studying accupuncture more carefully is a recognition
of the ineffectiveness or medication resistance of many people treated for depression
and other mental illnesses.

It is, at least, a very controversial subject. I appreciate you input, but must also
present some other things that are relevant and effective in treatments.
