| Recently, I read a couple of posts on depression and | | | | discovering the things I needed to discover that |
| supplements and feel the need to alert people who | | | | would actually help me! Because how can taking a |

| of supplementation that few, if any, are discussing. | | | | if you're artificially up due to happy chemicals flowing |
| Usually, the author of the article on depression and | | | | in your brain and you are no longer interested in your |
| supplements stresses the importance of proper | | | | original issue (like, say, a job you can't stand)? Isn't it |
| neurochemical balance in the brain. If your brain is out | | | | better to search for the root cause and solve that |
| of balance chemically, there is a good chance you will | | | | problem? |
| be depressed, or will experience anxiety or stress. | | | | My Mom (who lives on the other coast) is one |

| However, it is extremely important to determine | | | | longer that important to her? Have her goals lost |
| whether the cause of your being depressed is some | | | | their spark? In any case I see a difference in her and |
| inner chemical imbalance or whether it's the presence | | | | I can't say that I'm pleased. |
| of certain circumstances or challenges in your life. If | | | | If you are suffering from depression won't you |
| it's the circumstances (and I'm sure many people are | | | | search for how you can truly help yourself? Doesn't |
| experiencing difficulties, including intense situations | | | | searching involve looking within and by doing so, |
| involving their spirituality right now), how can a drug | | | | discovering some important things about your true |
| or a supplement help that? Does popping a "magic pill" | | | | self? I can say with confidence that for many people |
