so i have a question is depression really  a disease well the way they diagnose  

major depressive disease is through these  nine behaviors or symptoms if you have five  

or more of them then you have major depressive  disease but those five or more have to include  

number one and two depressive mood or a decreased  interest in pleasure or having no pleasure  

okay so let’s go through these symptoms  depressive mood decrease interest and pleasure  

increase or decrease in appetite or weight  before increase or decrease in sleep  

five fatigue or loss of energy six feeling  of worthlessness or inappropriate guilt  

seven decrease ability to  concentrate number eight agitation or  

retardation which has a little different  definition retardation in this definition means  

you’re slowing down the body or slowing down the  mind okay number nine recurrent thoughts of death  

or suicide okay so these are all the different  characteristics and you have to have five or more  

that must include either number one or two to  have this disease now here’s the question i have  

what objective test can you do okay is there  a blood test is there a cat scan that can show  

something wrong with the body and where is the  problem located exactly they have not found that  

out and so this is really based on opinion it’s  very arbitrary what i would like to know is why  

not look at these other factors which are a lot  more objective the diet okay what is the person  

eating is it possible that what they’re eating can  cause an imbalance in blood sugars and actually  

cause them to be depressed i found that diet is a  huge influence over someone’s mood you can measure  

objectively the vitamin d levels if you’re low  in vitamin d one of the symptoms is depression  

you can also measure testosterone if you’re low  in testosterone one of the symptoms could be  

depression you can measure the thyroid if your  thyroid is deficient you have hypothyroidism  

one of the symptoms is depression if you’re low  in vitamin b1 if you’re severely low it can affect  

your cognitive function to the point where you  could be depressed you can measure that as well if  

you don’t have enough sleep you can feel depressed  the feeling of depression and the feelings of  

exhaustion and lack of energy and vitality  are very similar one time i was in practice  

and this lady was in the room and she came in and  she was depressed and i tested her and the test  

was called heart rate variability and it measured  something called the autonomic nervous system  

and it was literally flatlined i mean there  was nothing going on i’ve never seen a test  

that bad ever and so that really indicated a  lot of problems including exhaustion and so  

i looked at the test and i said i understand that  you’re depressed but honestly based on this test  

right here i think you’re completely  exhausted and you know what happened  

she instantly felt better because someone finally  found something that was more objective and i said  

do you feel depressed now she goes actually no  i don’t feel depressed right now in fact i don’t  

even feel tired just by knowing what her problem  was that was fascinating all right um you can be  

fatigued from lyme disease epstein-barr virus  other viruses anemia lack of iron you can even  

have chronic pain in your body and inflammation  that can actually make you depressed so the  

question is is depression really disease go ahead  and comment down below and tell me what you think
