Are Sugar Pills Better than Antidepressant Drugs?

I applaud this kind of research. Exercise can solve so many health problems if its done consistently. I'm sure people a couple of centuries ago weren't as depressed as they are now because they had to get up and get in order to survive.

Can I slide back down into depression Oh yeah very easy there is a lot in my life that can make it soo very easy but I would rather look at the positive things in my life and go from there.

Yes, it tears through the military community for so many reasons. One spends a year in a high stress environment getting adrenaline rushes on a daily basis, and then poof, back home and your expected to fit in. Or you watch a best friend die or lose a limb. Or your family leaves you after your fifth one year deployment in nine years. And then you've been trained to be tough and don't know how to ask for help. I've seen it too often.

Psychologists enlist machine learning to help diagnose depression


Cognitive neuroscientists are using the Stampede supercomputer to provide accurate predictions of risk for those with depression and anxiety. They have been able to classify individuals with major depressive disorder with roughly 75 percent accuracy using a machine learning approach. Stampede 2 -- which will come online later in 2017 -- will provide the increased computer processing required to incorporate more data and achieve even greater accuracy. Ref. Source 6s.
