So did you ever take meds for depression? That sounds like the key to avoiding these things.. at least according to what I've read and from my pdoc...

If such conditions as long-term depression & anxiety can lead to Alzheimer's & Parkinson's, then I would guess I'm overdue.
I recall reading somewhere that one circumstance, that has been found to contribute to the development of Parkinson's, is repeated exposure to insecticides. This was interesting to me because when I was going into 7th grade my parents moved us out into the country to an area where there were tons of mosquitos. My father had a lawn & garden tractor (International Harvester)  that had a fogger attachment. I can still see him riding around on that tractor fogging the yard so that we could all sit outside during the long summer evenings...
