not clinicially depressed, but live with a man who is. A friend of
ours and clinical psychologist has him on a high-carb, high omega-rich diet,
with nutritional supplements which boost his adrenals, and it's made a world of
difference to Roderick's ability to get out of bed in the morning and to
function like a "normal" human being.

NOT suggesting this as an alternative to drugs in appropriate cases, just
thought I'd throw it out for discussion if anyone's interested, because in Rod's
case, anti-depressants did not work. According to Mark (the shrink), they
work on seratonin levels when in many cases of depression it's under-functioning
adrenals which cause the depression (not something you can easily pick up in
bloods).
