JR a little suspense can be good. Well the simple method I use is to drink a considerable quantity of agua. Works for me. Karen, my depression has plagued me for 25 years approx.,maybe longer. Over this time I have read volumns of research papers, talked to researchers around the country, been in a few studies, and added all that to my own symptoms and experiences with depression. I conclude that my form of depression and many other disorders are endocrine based. This idea is'nt novel, unfortunatly the endocrine systom is quite complex as you may know. Every few months I read of new hormonal proteins discovered. Allmost all of these and the numerous ones allready identified do not stay at a constant level throughout the day, ie.,the circadian rythmn. 50 years ago or more, it was generally understood the mood swings involved were hormonally based,but exacltly how and which hormones are responsible are still not understood.(PMS,ect.)
I am really amazed how little is known about our endocrine system. One can only hope.
