Jul 21, Omega-3 Cured Bipolar

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 18:25:27 GMT

Ten years ago, my rapid-cycling, increasingly severe manic depression was making my life unworkable. I was facing the prospect and side effects of using lithium, Depakote, and/or Wellbutrin when I first heard of the 1999 Harvard study of the effect of fish oil on the disorder. In desperation I began taking 3000 mg of fish oil a day. Since then, I have had *no* manic episodes and much less severe depression. Like everyone, I have changes in mood, but they are now very mild and completely manageable. There is no downside, so try it.

Mar 29, Depressed women have more sex

Sat, 29 Mar 2008 19:05:14 GMT

Depressed women have more sex than those who are happier, regardless of whether they are in a relationship or not, a study of Australians has found. A survey of Melbourne women presented at an international mental health conference has concluded that females who suffer from mild to moderate depression have a third more sexual activity than those who are not. They also had more sexually liberated attitudes, a bigger variety of sexual experiences and, if single, were more likely to partake in casual sex, Dr Sabura Allen, a clinical psychologist at Monash University, said. It was more sex and more of everything from kissing to petting, foreplay and intercourse, said Dr Allen, who studied the recent sexual experiences of 107 depressed and non-depressed women who were in relationships. We knew this anecdotally from clinical samples but this is the first time its been shown in research. She said depressed women were likely seeking out sexual intimacy more often to help feel more secure.
