New Website Helps Depression Sufferers Find the Underlying Cause of their Depression

Oct. 18, 2011 - PRLog -- A new website can help depression sufferers find and treat the underlying cause of their depression. The website, www.gethelpfordepression.info contains questionnaires and information on 13 common biochemical causes of depression, including pyroluria, a genetic condition that causes depression, anxiety and social withdrawal; undermethylation, a condition that causes depression, a racing brain and obsessive compulsive tendencies; and serotonin deficiency, a lack of the brain’s most important ‘happiness’ chemical that can be caused by prolonged periods of stress, poor diet or not enough exposure to sunlight.

“Depression is caused by an imbalance in brain chemistry” says Jane Henderson, the author of the site. “Your brain needs an adequate supply of natural chemicals like serotonin, endorphins, dopamine and GABA in order for you to feel happy, positive and relaxed. If for some reason you don’t have enough of any of these chemicals, then no matter how much therapy you have, you won’t be happy.”

“ The important thing is to find out why your brain isn’t producing enough of the ‘happiness chemicals’ it needs and then treat the underlying cause of the depression” says Jane. “A program of vitamins, minerals and natural supplements designed to address your unique biochemical imbalances can start to lift the black clouds in as little as 24 hours.”
