After consulting with my primary care physician regarding loss of energy and motivation, he suggested that I get Sun Shine/ Well it seems that the Sun doesn’t shine strong enough to even get warm, so I tried a Tanning Salon. Since that time I have felt very energized and motivated. The woman at the salon informed me that it was the ultraviolet light hitting my skin and causing chemical reactions which ultimately created Vitamin D and that Vitamin D is a great deterrrent for depression. And it is natural, I don’t have to take pills or get a prescription. The benefits outweigh the risks.

I found the article very insightful. As a person who has suffered with chronic depression for over 20 years it made perfect sense. Thank you, Dr. Keith

Dr Keith,
I clicked onto your article from a link in another news report.
Unfortunately your medical diatribe sounds more like it was written for other professionals in your field.
Mind you I am not an ignoramus by any definition of the word, but even I found your article too descriptionally intense for the average reader.

Think you could re-do this in a more layman style?

If I wanted to I COULD wade through it to get your point-but not everyone can or will do that.

Thanks for listening.
