Hi everyone,
I started reading this book a couple of
days ago (a friend bought it for me); He's
good - i have a question for anyone reading it;
Notice that his depression hit him hard as
a major breakdown just after his morphine/Xanax
cocktail for kidney stones.It makes wonder - I wish I could find statistics
on this - if withdrawal from drugs is not a common
cause on major depression onset - before he had
dysthymia. It is close to my experience - I took
Valium and THEN crashed during my grad. studies.I am curious as to the causes of depression onset,
aside the theoretical speculations of corpus
correlius localized anxiety disease, and the
cortisol levels, and the serotonin - not to say
that these things are NOT the causes, but how they
themselves change in depression - what sets them
off.I was not sure if i should have posted this here
or the main board - sorry.Squiggles
