Quiz: Are You Depressed?

In addition to the millions of women who are diagnosed

with clinical depression each year, countless others do not recognize

or acknowledge the hallmark signs. Take a moment to review the diagnostic

indicators below, checking all that apply to you within the last

two years:

• Poor appetite (weight loss)

  or overeating (weight gain)

• Insomnia or oversleeping

• Physical inactivity or

  hyperactivity

• Pervasive sense of worthlessness,

  guilt, ruminating about the past

• Mood of hopelessness, pessimism

  or despair

• Medical complaints with no apparent

  cause

• Disinterest in ordinary pleasures

  and activities

• Fatigue or lethargy
• Loss of sexual desire
• Irritability or excessive anger

• Difficulty concentrating or making

  decisions

• Recurrent thoughts of death or

  suicide.

If you checked two or more, you may be suffering

from clinical depression and should strongly consider starting my

recommended supplement program. If your symptoms are severe, see

a medical professional. If you’re currently taking prescription

antidepressants, work with your doctor before beginning this or

any other supplement program.
