Actually just went to the Dr. yesterday and had thyroid checked. It had been checked previously and everything was fine. I really feel as though my Depression simply stems from my illness whihc keeps me from living a normal life. On days when I feel better, I am no where near as depressed. I feel the key is to heal my body and the mind will come along. Of course Dr pushed antidepressants on me , usual response. Anything wrong with the body requires a 15 minutes once over from a dr. resulting in a pill. Funny. Right before that there were two drug company reps in and out of the office. Its like a revolving door. Its all ab out the drugs folks. That's all they know.
