    Hi Bruce,

    Our immediate family, along with the extended family suffers from depression. It is so much trial and error getting the meds straightened out -- the right kind and the proper dosage. Many with depression have higher IQs it seems. (Just a trivia fact). My mother was severe and often had to be hospitalized with it. Three of my children, along with myself, suffer with depression. My daughter's boyfriend (one of my children that do not suffer with it) is having to try to find a med that will work at the moment. You are not alone in this fight.

    Did you know that many with depression, also, have sleep apnea? (My mother is no longer here, and my children refuse to get tested) There is a strong link between the two, but science is still researching the links between the two.

    Good luck and keep coming back for support.

    Carol

    Thank you. I will probably take you up on that sometime soon.
