Even stressful life events can play a role in deprresion like: Breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend, failing a class.

"Battling the blues: ongoing research shows that omega-3 fatty acids help treat depression: an interview with Andrew Stoll, M.D." // Saturday Evening Post // May-June 2005: 30+. // Student Resources in Context //. Web. 27 Mar. 2012. Document URL http://go.galegroup.com/ps/i.do?id=GALE%7CA132163236&v=2.1&u=pl7053&it=r&p=GPS&sw=w 20. Researchers In this article say that the increase in depression is because people arent getting enough omega-3  21. All of the other omegas like omega-6 doesnt really matter as much as omega-3 does. 22. Over time people, heart disease and depression rates has skyrocketed in the past few years. 23.researchers in this article think that omega-6 is could be a cause of it  24.Dr. stoll did a study on bipolar disorder and actually made a link from that to depression. 25.The EPA may perform the anti-inflamatory action to see if it makes a difference in depression at all. 26.Dr. stoll has used patients that has depression and told them to take omega-3 everyday and he is in favor of it. 27. We recently reviewed about 18,000 people who participated in clinical trials with omega-3s, largely in cardiology studies, and we couldn't find one instance of bleeding in any of the trials. This means that the omega-3 doesnt just help depression it also helps many other issues too. 28. A patient with blood thinners and has depression should exercise, but take a lower dose of the omega-3 than people without blood thinners. 29.Dr.stoll says this because it wouldnt effect the patient because they do have a disease. 30.Dr.stoll says that people with bipolar disorder and depression should take at least 10 grams of omega-3 a day. 31.The FDA requires that supplement manufacturers list the ingredients or nutrients by serving size. But the company can put in any serving size they want, so it may look like there is a lot of EPA. 32.Dr.stoll had made a range: if one gram of EPA doesnt work for the first two weeks, he will raise it to two.

33. it might take the form, a bit less likely, of a runaway inflation, which is simply another way in which values deflate, and which is even worse for ordinary people. 34. What triggers depression is derivatives, which is oil speculators. 35.we want to understand what is going on, we need to look at two other temporalities, which are far more revealing. One is that of medium-term cyclical swings. And one is that of the long-term structural trends. 36.There are two depression cycles they are:One is the so-called Kondratieff cycles that historically were 50--60 years in length. And the other is the hegemonic cycles which are much longer. 37.Once depression had stopped for a while, the economy picked back up again. 38.Resaerchers say that when people say that the stockmarket is going to rise again, they think of it as depression. 39.The structural trends may interfere with the cyclical patterns. The basic structural features of capitalism as a world-system operate by certain rules that can be drawn on a chart as a moving upward equilibrium. 40.The government is now taking notice and they see that its not a pretty picture.
