Fascinating Facts

This will be a quick post, as I have expended nearly all of my available mental reserves on lauding Teri Gross, plus I am definitely feeling the effects of an oddly timed wave of depression.

Thanks to a post by a Bill Yarberry...and indirectly to my insatiable desire to know, I came across this interesting article about the connection between nutrition and brain function...with extensive mentions about depression. I have no idea if the author is legit or full of it, but a quick skim of the material leads me to believe he is on to something.

Unfortunately, I'll have to save a more in-depth investigation until this wave passes...as reading the parts about the numerous foods that the author is careful to eat and supplements he diligently takes is weighing on me like a metric crapload of bricks. I'm in the phase of mind in which I neglect to take my prescribed drugs out of a sort of global hopelessness; the last thing I need to do is read about drugs (food, supplements) that I should start taking (eating).

Off Note: Listening to NPR's constant tsunami coverage might not be helping either.
