Yea, and some things are genetic. �But a lot of this stuff can be avoided if

But man, imagine the poor kid who has a genetic depression time bomb in
his/her system (say at age 28) and is raised by parents who don't follow
proper nutrition and/or excercise guidelines, plus never take the kid out
into nature.

That person is screwed from Day One.

That's so much of the problem with depression. It strikes people on
so many different levels of severity. There is a student in my
classroom, she's a freshman. So clinically depressed. We are lucky
for the days her mother can actually get her out of bed to school.
She is constantly talking about wanting to die, regardless of the meds
they have her on. She has attempted suicide several times in life,
pre-medication and post-medication. She is miserable and on the verge
of tears all the time. It is a sad, sad case. Sometimes I don't
think that there is anything that will necessarily work with a person
like that. Not that anyone should give up trying, but it almost seems
like some people are just doomed from the start. There are other
students who have been diagnosed with depression, that are depressed
and always seem somewhat sad, but still function ok. Depression is
such an all-encompassing label for such a condition that effects
people in such vastly different ways.

I am not a doctor, a psychiatrist, or anything like that. Just have
worked with kids in special services for about 7 years. Worked inner-
city, worked suburban, have seen a lot. I have taught kids who are
overmedicated and just really need some discipline and structure at
home. Their parents want us to cure in 6 hours a day, the mess they
have made of their children over 14 years or so. Easier to medicate
the kid than actually put the effort into raising him right. Then
there are the kids who truly are ADD or ADHD. You see them when they
have their bouts of refusing to take their meds and they are bouncing
off the walls, and truly cannot stay focused on anything.

There didn't seem to be so many kids with so many problems when I was
a kid...ummmm...not SO long ago. (I"m 41 now). But if research isn't
seriously conducted into whether it's the pesticides, or the vaccines,
or the preservatives and chemicals in the food,

Or the fluoride in the water and toothpaste. Fluoride is more poisonous than lead... take a look at the label on your toothpaste sometime. It is the main active ingredient in Prozac, which calms adults down. Kids are affected the opposite by drugs; amphetamines like ridilin calm them down... I would suggest that fluoride poisoning just might cause them to want to jump out of their skins... If it is recommended to contact a poison-control center immediately if a pea-sized bit of toothpaste is swallowed by a child, can you imagine what a daily dose they are getting from swallowing bits of toothpaste, the water, soda, etc? All other civilized nations in the world have banned fluoride in the water; what is wrong with this country? Why do we put poison in our children's mouths, and the dose them with amphetamines to counteract the poisoning? Not to mention the study in JAMA finding a direct correlation between hip fractures in people over 50 and fluoride in water.
