I agree the power of the human mind and design of the human body is extraordinary especially with something such as depression which is a chemical imbalance in the brain.

Best medicine for depression is healthy lifestyle changes, full cleanses, and exercise and clean eating!

The gym is like a free drug store, dopamine, serotonin, epinephrine all on tap at your disposal and they all contribute to a greater way of life and sense of self.

I get high everyday, on weight at a time!

Cancer is a whole seperate evil though! We ALL are born with the cells in our body, BUT exposures and sheer fate are the biggest factor to whether the devil rears its ugly face or not!

Mind is incredibly powerful. Especially mine. I'm going through a bad depression for almost 3 months. I can tell you that working out has zero effect on my mood. I meditate and heavy lift 5 days a week and eat healthy anyway, but same shit. I just dig myself in a hole and it gets deeper. Sleep is the best. I just want to sleep all the time. Like Rip Van Winkle.

Do you suffer from OCD or any anxiety?

Both, but to what degree, I'm not sure.

i dont know acupuncture is really helping or not but dont rush to quit medication for a while more, especially if you had a really serious depression and more importantly really try to figure out was that depression caused from your perception or attitude.. without changing things about you before you had depression rushing wont make things better..

I may be bias because I'm an acupuncturist, but acupuncture is very effective in treating depression, stress, and anxiety.

For me I get depressed when I don't have a challenge in life: ie when work is boring (no interesting projects) and no projects around the house. It kinda makes sense because I think we all need purpose. Curious to see if you guys experience the same.

I do agree exercise, eating healthy and talking to others all help but for me only do so much
