Nine months ago I was diagnosed with pyroluria. It is a genetic defect that causes leaching of zinc and vitamin B6 from the body and leads to neurological disorders. I cannot describe the relief I felt to finally find out. Recovery is slow(i was advised 1yr) but really happening for me .Pfeiffer Research Institute diagnose and treat and the treatment is nutrients only. zania, I had many yrs of severe stress and exhaustion.

I just finished it a few days ago, a book about the sixteenth President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, he's the president who... presided over America's civil war in 1861-1865. The one who helped to free the slaves. <a href="http://www.lincolnsmelancholy.com/feat_back_1.html" rel="nofollow">Lincoln's Melancholy</a>: How Depression Challenged a President and Fueled His Greatness He had his first depressive episode when he was 26 and suffered chronic depression until the day he was assassinated. The author suggests he also had symptoms of hypomania. Here's a quick exerpt. "The big difference is that today we often hear that the disease of depression is entirely distinct from the ordinary experience of being sad or in the dumps. But in the nineteenth-century conception of melancholy, these were part of the same overall picture. A person with a melancholy temperament had been fated with both an awful burden and what Byron called "a fearful gift." The burden was a sadness and despair that could tip into a state of disease. But the gift was a capacity for depth, wisdom -- even genius." Zania, I know you’re not from America, but you would probably really like this book.
