Being depressed for spells is a normal human condition.

The pharmacuetical industry will have you believe its not.

Exfexxor, prozac, wellbutrin etc are amphetimine based products and are addictive and have bad side effects once you stop using them, which makes you reliant on them continuously.

This is what the pharm industry enjoys as it is a multibillion dollar industry to diagnose millions of kids with "chemical imbalances" .

The depression after ceasing these products can make you more depressed and or sick with pounding headaches.

Provided the depression is of the general type and not related to some tramatic life event then it is most likely dietary.

Deficiencies of ascorbic acid, folic acid, amino acids and fish oil can correct this problem.

Ascorbic acid, (vitamin c) converts the amino acids, tyrosine and L-tryptophan to seratonin. Vitamin C also stimulates norephinephine.
All amino acids can be found in protien based foods.

If any dietary building blocks are missing the others cant function their job.

Marijuana stimulates Dopamine release. Smoking regularly then ceasing and the brain notices the change in dopamine and wants more, depression can follow a lack of dopamine that the mind was used to. Moderation is key.

Your mind is not deficient of a synthetic man made chemical.

Nature has had this figured out for millions of years.
