My depression began abruptly just a few months after my presumed recovery from Mono during my first year of college in 1960. The depression was severe, untreatable, and unremitting until I had an insight into its origin--more than 10 years later--See EscapeFromDepression.com. I was to never to recover the vitality I had previous to the mono.... There is a research paper decades old in which a physician notes that some small percentage of those with Mono never make a full recovery, and that this group is further characterized--by testing I believe--to be under unusual loads of psychological stress. Cannot remember where I found the paper.... So I too was struck by the proximity of the Mono to the onset of my depression--but understand that such observations are not in and of themselves science...Jon Eden (JonEden@yahoo.com)
