That the experiments took so long to come to pass. I used to be affected with S.A.D. ~ Seaaonal Affective Disorder. Now it seems to have been effectively reduced or eliminated by a new model for living that eliminated all recreational drug use, which along with therapy in the form of years of group meetings (NA/AA)and a system for living, (12 Steps Program) which eliminated a lot of Chaos in the life, it (the disorder) seems to have flown.
Anybody need recovering addicts for research studies...on S.A.D. ???
I could use some cash ! LOL

Now we have Prozac, which some refer to as a psychologist in a bottle.You can now dispense with having to attend a psychologist and involve meaningless hours of discussion.\What Dave Goodwin, contently passes by, is something known as the need to write to one's social log.
By surpassing the social log, people become meaningless and in most case, suicidal.

In the movie THX1143, a controller of the underground complex, while under stress, as she has made a drastic mistake, simply pops a pill, smiles and all is well:


Reply> In seasonal affective disorder,this may be a situation of hierarchy against a gene set.

Their might be a key gene, in some humans, who experience seasonal affective disorder, that is produced during certain types of winters.

In other words, it might be like treating nothing, in certain indisvuals only.

A light box, or a box filled with fluorescent tubes, shining onto an opaque lens might help, for those who suffer this melody to do so?

However, in some who experience this problem, they can't take certain mental medications, such as Lexipro.

The taking of lexipro, by people with SADs, causes deep shooting pains within that persons skull.At least it does in mine.

Certain mental pharmaceuticals monitors, must be determined by a screening physician, as to being proper to apply to certain styles of physiological characteristics.

An example a while back, was a mans reaction to the drug, Halcyon, to where he shot up a California based Mac Donald restaurant.

I don't feel that all physiologies and anatomies are the same.

So a one size fits all, does not or should not apply to the dispensing of mental medications, if the adverse reactions are worse that the primary condition itself.
