		<description>Hi ricercar, I am still interested.&lt;br/&gt;Crispian123, that was a very cheap tactic to get your link (clinical depression) on my blog. If I see that haappening again, I;&#039;ll be forced to report abuse and remove the link.</description>

		<description>remember what we had talked about earlier? about autism and schizophrenia? someone at the lab is doing a study. not sure of teh details but its looking at the superficial similarities in social cognitive skill deficiencies in autism and schizophrenia patients and trying to prove that the underlying causes are different. I will try to get you more info if you are still interested.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;=======================================================================&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a HREF=&quot;http://www.clinicaldepressioncure.com&quot; REL=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Clinical Depression&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;CRISPIAN</description>

		<description>Hi IMB,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I am glad that you liked my post.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;A very informative link regarding the depression and women linkages is at NIMH site http://www.nimh.nih.gov/publicat/depwomenknows.cfm&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I would recommend you to go over that. clinical depression should be taken seriously and the local psychiatrist consulted immediately. A mix of medications and therapy should help your mom and sis-in-law get overt their depressive episodes. You yourself can read some CBT literature and try to reason with them and show how their cognitive thinking style is doing them a disservice and needs to be replaced with a more optimistic and positive thinking style. And of course any environmental(social/psychological) stressors have to be addressed. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;There are reasons why depression is more common in women (some of the depressive episodes are related to hormonal changes following menstruation, pregnancy etc) and I am afraid some reasons are still not clear. Its a complicated filed and maybe I&#039;ll do a post some day tentatively hypothesizing why depression is more common in women. That may lead to better treatment approaches. Till then take the help of local counselor, psychologist/ psychotherapist. We still do not know enough about the causes and how to prevent this, but we do know how to treat and keep the symptoms in check.</description>

		<description>Hi Sandy&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I read your post and must say that you have very good interests. While i was searching for the soul theory, the search engine located your blog too, so i got in.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Although, i am responding to enquire about something personal.... I would be glad to know about depression in women... for i have my mother, and a sis-in law who are moody and depressive and which sometimes becomes really bothersome.. Could you help me out in this.</description>
