> It would be nice if there were, and it's tempting to believe that there must be a "cure,"
how about the cure being available within the next five years...as a result of hard science...not simply a wishyou are knowledgeable and very well-read. i enjoy seeing your posts. you will be able to appreciate some of the more recent work in neurobiology.
check out the latest research by; Dr. Evan Snyder of Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, Mass...Dr. Gerald D. Fischbach, director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
but the cold hard reality is that in the case of manic-depression and recurring unipolar depression, it's not bloody likely - not in my lifetime, anyway.
