You can train dogs to bark or sit. But what about training mice to grow new brain cells? A Nobel Prize winning scientist has done that, and he says it could lead to new ways to treat depression in people. http://www.sciencentral.com/video/

    I take vitamin D and it works just as well as any antidepressant and if taken in moderation has no side effects.
    You get D from the sun normally, but since I live in a northern climate, we don’t get enough of it, especially in winter.

    I am not refuting your statement but I think that you should use the word evidence and not proof.

    Very interesting. Do you think it could have the same kind of effect with other kinds of stimuli like food or perfumes or even specific endeavours like relaxation (which would also demonstrate why people like Legatus put themselves in states of positive stimuli by doing their rituals)?

    This is why many people who are depressed retreat to music. I veiw this as scientific proof that music helps.

    Not a drug but a chemical released in the brain that is entirely different from the antidepressant given to the mouse. The tone may lead to new antidepressants! I listen to ambient music while meditating for the same result.

    Drugs = Sound?
    I do not think so. I think everyone here that listens to music of any kind feel better without the addiction and sickness.
    P.S. Do not comment me wrong exept if you have proof.

    We exhaust our proven methods. When none work, we sit, meditate and seek the Lord.
    Then we get back on target, once we’ve thought things through. It is one of those wisdom sharpens the axe kind of things.
    Our opposition is more inclined to keep pushing, with the help of meds and stuff, until they suffer some major heart attack. That is how they think and how they want us to think, too, jealously.
    Like shooting rats in a barrrel, the militia takes exception and we win.

    I was severely depressed 10 years ago, and I got over it when I admitted that it is just a form of obsession. There is no cure for depression, other than how obsession is treated. People deny their obsession on purpose and that’s what causes dramatic problems with depression.

    Humans dont need drugs for depression. My advise is to get a dog and take it for a walk, take care of it and you soon will be taking care of yourself as well.

    that was great until the punchline. no more new drugs. if sound or music therapy can work for depression, imagine what else sound can do. stop making more chemicals for people to become dependent on. stop messing with our minds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Maybe if the mouse paddles fast enough the milk will turn to cheese (But to make cheese you need something sour; that’s where his comes in to play.) and then the mouse could eat his way out. But maybe the reason the mouse gets depressed is because after swimming around he realizes the pool is so big it will take to much effort to make the cheese.

    Pills (even liquid medication) are the worst thing to advise when someone has depression, I’ve been a severe sufferer for longer than I can remember and medication does not work, but only makes things worse.

    What people who have depression need is a trusting person to talk to and with and work at their own pace, gradually and naturally coming out the other side. It doesn’t even need to be a doctor, just someone they can trust and rely on.
