I can understand that and know that but at the end of the day I still think that something needs to flick the switch on this and it not just come down to say a hormone inbalance....
I think it would be a very good idea for him to go to the doctor to get things checked out because if it is as simple as just a hormone inbalance then give him some drugs and he will be sweet...I guess? or is that the case....do u really want ppl treated like that? for me no not really - there has to be an underlining problem that is causing unhappiness....
I know depression can "just be there" but why? - if its thyroid probs or hormone probs etc then its not really depression is it? its a thyroid or hormone imbalance.....
Its very easy for ppl who are unhappy or have depression to just go to the doctor and go on diff drugs and live their life like they did before...but that just masks a problem....ppl need to not go on drugs/supplements etc and work everything out within them self.
I agree 100% problem is with our current medical model we cant really fix people..
Dr's study pharmacology and learn a drug for a disease/disorder. They dont understand what causes the disorder or how to fix the root cause...
Depression is a side effect of the actual problem... And technically speaking so is the thyroid problem. They are all side effects of maybe a few root causes but the problem is we dont know what they are yet.
Through my years of reserach and reading and trying to fix myself though i have seen enough evidence to believe that most problems come down to the liver or the digestive system.. Then that effects the endocrine system... that effects the emotional....
I cant "prove" with a paper, however i can experiment on myself and help people with what i and others have learnt.
I think alot in that book can really hlep kindred to start to understand that his body is made form what he eats. That cell membranes are made out of the type of dietary fats you consume and how the integrity of those membranes can effect your health and happiness.
