LOL, the solutions are getting weirder and weirder! But just for seriousness, I'll brave it and get serious for a moment. Nah, it won't cure depression! BUT, you may feel more comfortable physically, mammos will be easier to read, exercise will be easier to do, both of which are good for overall health. You may like the way you look in clothes better. If you have a baby, your ability to breast feed may or may not be compromised. You may be able to do some and need to supplement with formula. You'd have to see. That aspect doesn't bother me personally - I feel more comfortable with a guy in the first place - which would make the baby actually possible. No boyfriend has even batted an eye at the not-so-bad scarring. It is major surgery, but if you've been thinking about it, you might want to look into it if you haven't researched it already. We're talking potential for big quality of life improvement. Okay, I've said enough about something very private. Guys you can forget you read this.
> Just for a reality check, I often think having a breast reduction would help me an awful lot. And several people have mentioned it to me as a way to end my depression for good.

> Hey, maybe depression isn't a mental illness, but a BREAST illness? Ya think that's it?
