In some of the archives I came across a post that mentioned an article titled "Serotonin: From Bliss to Despair" -- it's part of a larger article about neurotransmitters and depression.

Just Googled it and read that particular part of the article... Wow! So many of the symptoms fit my W perfectly, and definitely fit with the profile of an MLCer.

And I can even recognize some of the symptoms as occurring within her at least for the past few years if not longer when I go back and recall certain behaviors and incidents that have occurred in the past.

When her mother mentioned to her last week that she sees signs of depression, my W blew it off... she just doesn't want to hear that from anyone -- especially from her mom... I haven't said anything to her about depression because I know better than to do that right now...
