Unfortunately psychs and endo's have left so many stones unturned. The more I learn about the endocrine system the more I see that it is poorly understood. The timeing of all our biological processes are set by the endocrine circadian rythmn, but it is not understood. Incredible as it sounds, it is true. As long as 30 years ago some depressive patients were shown to respond positively to one night of sleep deprivation. Through all these years studies have tried to identify what mechanism in the endocrine system causing this and all have failed. The last one I read by Dr. Wehr failed also, but felt the changes
in endocrine system were responsible for the postive response.
