ILG... In the future if you find yourself battling depression again... look into Niacin (Vitamin B3)
I already take niacin, d4t. I'm pretty savvy with nutrition etc. If I let the drs dope me up, I would probably be a wreck! LOL!

Yep, they can't ALL be wrong.

Re: 1 in 5 Americans mentally ill

I know of situations where a person attributed the wooing and working of the Holy Spirit along with the affects of their sinful choices to mental illness.


Mental illness is a serious issue. It is my opinion however, that if humans would make better decisions, then sometimes that mental illness would never manifest itself.

This goes for Christians and non-Christians.



Why should a person relinquish their right to experience happiness? Why do humans do the things that humans do?

By definition, I guess that may be part of what makes them (us) "human."
