Lauer hi paul since i posted the review i guess i'm the "someone" you are asking for. i have heard of too many people with parkinson's disease who have committed suicide suicide and attampted suicide (the ratio is 20 "unsuccessful" / per each "successful" attempt) is a tragic and needless result of clinical depression which is a totally curable mood disorder but is (also tragically) undiagnosed 80% of the time and which occurs in anywhere between 40% and 60% of all people with parkinson's disease i know both the mood disorder, clinical depression, (cd) and the movement disorder, parkinson's disease, (pd) on a personal basis in my humble opinion cd is the more debilitating why should we suffer with something that is curable when we already are dealing with something incurable "wasting time and space" is one person's opinion there are 1900 other opinions here as well i have received frequent compliments and requests for re-posting my news and medical articles about clinical depression how is your conclusion "more people than not" arrived at? a delete key is an essential piece of equipment on all e-mail lists imho if frequent complaints about types of postings intimidate listmembers who might otherwise post their concerns how then is this list to survive at all? if there are subjects which you feel are not being covered 'correctly' here why not post some articles yourself? why not turn your energies to fighting for pd awareness and understanding rather than censorship? someone once said if we are not part of the solution then we are part of the problem janet janet paterson: an akinetic rigid subtype, albeit perky, parky . pd: 54/41/37 cd: 54/44/43 tel: 613 256 8340 email: [log in to unmask] . snail mail: 375 Country Street, Apt 301, Almonte, Ontario, Canada, K0A 1A0 . a new voice: the nnnewsletter: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/janet313/ . a new voice: the wwweb site: http://www.geocities.com/janet313/ . ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
