Depression as hard on the heart as obesity and cholesterol

You seem to basically post the same when the topic of depression comes up. Multiple times this week. Can be easily verified by clicking on your name, and then comments.

Our previous discussion on this is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13290295

I agree about mindfulness.

However you provide no information on your LSD claim. There's no way one can "educate themselves about everything" on any subject this is CYA. There's no proof of a "spiritual dimension" this is not science; this is new age poppycocks rhetoric.

I still recommend the things I recommended in my previous post (I recommend the reader to read it). Apart from yoga, as well as running, and sunlight (especially in the summer since you build up the vitamin D in the summer).

For winter depression I would love to recommend a high lux light lamp, but I personally haven't read any good research wether this works or not or wether it is placebo effect.

Didn't the war on drugs didn't put a damper on this? Although they seem to be finding medical uses MDMA now. I just wonder how many things we could be benefiting from that have been shelved because of prohibition.

I use light therapy in the winter. It feels like it at least helps wake me up on those days when the midwest skies are nothing but grey. I don't know if there is any science behind it. I sit out side as much as I can the 3-6 months that it's decent out.
