The Chemical Elements of Depression
When I was much younger, I had gone to the doctor and I just said, hey, I'm always tired. And my sister's like, oh, people who are vegetarian often have low iron and you're probably tired because of that. Doctor ran some tests and then he actually said, do you know if you have depression in your family? And I'm like, I'm not sad. He goes, depression doesn't mean you're sad. And then he put me on meds. That was an experience that happened way before any of this. But it was never a mood issue for me. It was more of an energy issue for me."
