The poster that originated this thread posted that ANY advice was asked for. The generally accepted meaning of {any}, in particular that the word is in caps, could mean that the original poster wants to mean that there are no exclusions to the advice that anyone could want to post here in this thread. The aspects of what I would like to discuss here is concerning the mind in relation to depression which is the topic at hand here. Knowing what I could share with others here about the mind could help those IMO taking chemicals into their system to have an additional understanding that could IMO help them to make a more informed decision concerning the taking of chemicals into their system.
You wrote,[...equally xxxxxx...] I am unsure what you are wanting to mean by that.
You wrote,[..her..baby...] I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean by posting such here, if there is something that you want others are to get from what you posted about the candidates child.
You wrote,[...The Integrative medicine comment..] I am unsure as to what comment you are wanting to mean here.
