I have suffered from major depression since 1962 for certain, and very likely since 1952. It has wrecked my life, but by some fluke I am still alive at the age of 60. I have never been impressed with existing theories on the aetiology of depression, and I hoped I might at least live long enough to know how this mood disorder really starts and works.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg18224494.700-hope-over-depression.html"><P>I have one grouse. You say "even physical exercise - known to improve depressive symptoms in humans - could induce neurogensis". Physical exercise does give some people partial relief from depression - I do not argue with that - but in my case physical exercise almost invariably makes depression worse, sometimes much worse, by increasing suicidal ideation. In fact, if I enjoy exercise, or feel in need of exercise, this is a very reliable sign that my depression is already deep.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/6BEA7DDE-6F91-4A2C-A79C-4C6A6C1E4F36/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
