is it a cop out to medicate?

IMO most mental issues are hidden behind mineral deficiencies. It is not widely known in mainstream society that many diseases and most mental deficiencies are short circuits in the bodily system resulting in a less than 100% functional state. Just a small amount of research and common sense will bring you to that understanding.

Even after 2 years of being vegetarian, drinking filtered tap water, taking coral calcium, magnesium, B12 , royal jelly, kelp (iodine - for thyroid gland) and other supplements, meanwhile not eating junk food or drinking pop I still had depression until a month ago when I went back to a school to a program I really enjoy full of classmate and professors I like alot. If I wasn't in school for more than a week and if I didn't see my friends on a regular basis, or wasn't doing something else enjoyable to fill the time, I would most likely fall back into depression until I'd get back to something enjoyable. Also I've had mild ADD all my life which was never alleviated by anything I did. Therefore I disagree that it's mineral deficiencies.
