Going to fund a study

Posted by Cruz on November 20, 2001, at 19:41:48

For many years I have thought that my type of depression was caused by low levels of the hormonal protein Inhibin b. Since no study has been forth comeing to identify this, I have decided to cough up the cash( $30,000 )to get a study going through NARSAD.
Many studies have tried to find the endocrine changes that produce the anti-depressant effect of sleep deprivation, but they have all failed. I think If levels of Inhibin b are monitored, this AD effect will be finally identified.
This is quite alot of money for me to invest, but I am so sure of my theory that I feel I have to do this.
It's astonishing to me that more effort has'nt been extended to answer this phenomenon of AD effect of sleep deprivation. If you have experienced this like I have, where you are painfully depressed and it miraculously disapears when you for go sleep.
What do you think?

i think this is a wonderful idea and i also think that you are very generous to put up this sum of money.

my uncle, a bona fide genius, artist, and all-around smart-ass gregarious character, has serious sleep problems which he believes have contributed to severe depression. he has a degree from NYU, a wonderful personality, but all he is able to do is toss&turn, visit the library, and go for long walks.

they sayy something is wrong with his frontal lobes (???)....i don't know the details. all i know that one of themost alive human beings i know is now receiving disability checks.
