(The neurologist may be depressed as well.) It is a problem to help people who are depressed, since they have little motivation. One thing to try is to call the National Foundation for Depression 1-800-248-4344 for advice. They have a web site http://www.depression.com. There is also an internet newsgroup alt.support.depression. Phil Tompkins
