It goes beyond purely medicalizing depression and addresses the fact that our lives are far different from what we are biologically accustomed to and that there are some parts of our lives that we may need to give more attention. Thank you!

I think the writer covered it all except meditation. Many people shun radical acceptance concepts, traditional eastern yoga (not the exercise crap we have here), awareness, consciousness , spiritality, respecting peace and that which is beyond our knowledge, And also treating other potential causes such as ADD or ADHD (which is a good thing). Some or all of these concepts you logical, fix it this way or allow it to be that way type of people will be totally tuned out/ turned off to anything I just said. Why? You’ve tried everything but you really haven’t. Even this article i bet most of us havent done wholeheartedly each of the six with do or die, study for the final or loose it all type laser focus. You may, if you are like me, already know exactly what you need to do to feel good. Time and time again you don’t. Why? Just ask yourself: are you ready for the new you? Do you deserve the success you are about to get by being peaceful and who you are to the core? Do yoy cry and feel uneasy? Uncomfortable? Care too much what others think? Well, the World doesnt need you, or anyone. But Life needs you and you are Ready now. Get going to be you, without any rumination or anything else. Just do your thing and be present and all else will work out around you. Trust that intuition now more than ever. Run that race or take that chance, or don’t. Stop treating and start being. Bad at getting back to people? Accept it and tell them. Bills overdue? Call tomorrow or Monday to make arrangements. Nothing left to live for? Take a nice long walk to see life one last time, talk to a stranger , and I promise the universe will do the rest for you . Peace is all we want, but we dont kniw the huge vast amount of paths to get it….all so different, and all lead the same peace feeling. Exept Except the ultimate one, death in final is not peace, it is just more suffering for anyone who loves you, and for you too as you will be lost in the afterlife totally unconscious and totally dependent on an angel finding your soul before it gets too hot to save. Dont be that soul, be the angel. Why? The world and Life needs you.

Green leafy vegetables won’t necessarily cure her, but it is important that her brain and body are strengthened as much as possible. Sleep is vital, as is gut health, exercise and mindfulness. If you start to get really concerned, or if it feels as though she is getting worse or feeling so helpless that it is difficult for her to do any of these things, it might be worth speaking to a doctor. Whatever happens though, these are really powerful ways to strengthen the brain and body and to help protect mental health. Love and strength to your daughter.

My daughter told me that she has been feeling depressed for the past couple of weeks because of her schooling. I will be sure to buy more leafy vegetables for our daughter so she feels better!

Great point, but our brains still need the same things our stone-age brains needed – connection, healthy food, exercise, sunlight etc. These were the same things our grandparents generation were also doing plenty of, so there has really been no need for our brains to ‘evolve’ in any other way.
