    because wiping even half of the potential benefits that took nature millions of years to evolve and just thinking you can randomly generate them in an acceptable time span when you get there shows very little thinking ability.

    OMG, there's hope after all.

    Well, a little hope since it doesn't seem you know the relationship between the brain and sugar, but hope after all!

    I always found it funny that 'intelligent' people usually think it doesn't matter where your calories come from. As if the human body is an amazing black magic box that can take whatever you put into it and receive the same outcome all the time.

    It's about time people realize the simple logic that food is broken down into the useful stuff and the non-useful byproducts. These byproducts can affect the functioning of your system especially if they fit lots of locks they shouldn't be playing with.

Yet she has a problem with manufactured drugs with a long list of side-effects, some resulting in death or long term impairement, and you suffer while having to hunt for the 'right' drug, and in 20 years you'll probably see a commercial for a class action suit against the drug for birth defects.

    No. Intelligent people have a well constructed view of reality in their head, it usually has very little to do with actual reality.

    This is the natural consequence of spending your time 'understanding' reality by reading books filled with other peoples thoughts about how reality is constructed.

    The depression happens when the 'intelligent' people can't understand why reality isn't working like the carefully constructed logical reality in their head.

    Only the US seems to suffer from such aggressive Bipolar Personality Disorder. It's not as prevalent in any other country I've ever visited.

    Every single diagnosis (for almost all 'mental' 'diseases') has a temporal requirement AND it has to negatively impact your day to day life. That is the only difference between an alcoholic who drinks a bottle everyday and lost their job over it and a non-alcoholic who drinks a bottle everyday for a week during spring break.

    Here's a hint. When YOU notice something is off, or you have questions, that's when you go get tested. Not just for depression, lack of energy can be a lot of things but if it is noticeable then go see your doctor!!

    All those suggestions are backed by science. Science also says it doesn't really matter what type of counseling you get. Taking drugs, talking to a counselor, talking to a friend, have all shown to be equally effective.

    It's funny how these studies are the ones that never get much mention because it basically eliminates the need for the US solution.

    Where have you been for the past couple of decades? The US has gotten more blatant in it's actions. It is these very overt actions, without significant outcry from other countries, that is leading the other Big Powers to feel confident in making overt moves as well.

    It will be interesting times ahead. The US used to get away with so much of it's foreign policy because of the mythic aura of the American-Dream that made it so palatable to poor developing countries. With the recent constant revelations of just how hypocritical the US is, and the fact they're running out of countries that they haven't fucked over, they're losing their carefully built image and status as "policer-of-the-free-world". It'll be fun to see just how far the bullies will go now that they realize there is no functional deterrent to their actions.
