Irish researchers pursue breakthrough in treatment of depression

I wish these young men the best of luck in their field, Portia777 People with everything as you put it, it has nothing to do with that. Years ago anyone who was severely depressed would have landed in a mental institution. This is an illness that can affect anyone. Can hit you for no reason at all but you get deeper and deeper into it. Until they find out why it happens, anti-depressants can and do save lives.

I strongly feel that these two fine young gentlemen should receive more scholarship money. May they be encouraged to keep up their good work.

Mother Nature created all the cures for free, so why waste money like this on chemicals with side affects?The reason for depression is of more worth though. Why are so many depressed compared to years ago- considering we are supposed to have everything?
