Random Acts of Kindness, or God?

It doesn't matter what you believe in....If it improves the quality of your life and doesn't harm anyone then it's valid.

Amen

Within a month my swings greatly decreased. Forgot to take it at Xmas and within weeks I deteriorated. Restarted and within weeks I rebalanced. All anecdotal but the change was very noticeable and several years of suffering them wasn't wiped out by me being susceptible to the power of suggestion with a placebo.

Terry this was the same story for me after starting on citalopram in 2001. I had come out of a very rotten few years before this. Losing a close aunt, mother, brother and step-mother within a 5 year period. Fathering a daughter too, all of this had a significant impact on my mental health.

I was switched from dothiepin to the citalopram early 2001 and I noticed an immediate improvement. I put this down to citalopram, not just in part but totally. Looking back now, I firmly believe the almost total recovery from anxiety/depression between 2001 and autumn 2008 was at least partly the placebo effect. The question is, does it really matter whether this improvement was purely chemical or down to my belief that it was? Science and belief running parallel and yet interwoven.

I love this.
