		<description><![CDATA[I think that coffee is an effective antidepressant. More than that, I think it&#8217;s at least as effective as the prescribed antidepressants. So far the information is anecdotal  - I&#8217;m not entirely confident about this.

		<description><![CDATA[The traditional and common model has it that there must be some event or stress in your life that causes depression. I think that&#8217;s just wrong. And my experiences over the years generally have borne me out. Stress does not cause depression. Getting depressed creates stress in your life.

I&#8217;ve often wondered why, because I get depressed as much and as intensely, as other people.
