Hi zarlando,
i must say I have never heard of such a
fancy diagnosis in my practice, which
means 'acting like a wolf'. The fact that
you can write on a computer and send
messages over the internet does not
support the idea that you are a wolf.
However as a description of depression it
makes sense, because in depression there
are so many forms and subcategories of
depression, that 'being a wolf' might as
well be included.
Most professionals inventing fancy
diagnoses usually have a poor
understanding of what they are talking
about. By labelling you with a fancy
medical term, they hope to suggest that
there is a specific treatment for
'lycanthropy' especially of a drug type.
The truth is that mainstream medicine and
psychology have a poor understanding of
what causes depression and therefore
cannot see the connection between
depression, anxiety attacks or chronic
insomnia, ptsd, ocd, and lycanthropy,
believing them to have separate
pathologies with separate treatments (and
different drugs).
The psychonutritional model does away with
all this non-sense and looks at the common
biochemical features of these different
types of mental illnesses. It sees these
illnesses as a manifestation of a
nutritional disorder that have in common
insulin resistance or what is also known
as hypoglycemia.
In insulin resistance there is an
obstruction in the way a person absorbs
and metabolizes the sugars in food. Sugar
is the universal source of biological
energy that the brain needs to convert one
molecule into another, such as the
conversion of tryptophan (found in food)
into serotonin, our major feel-good
neurotransmitters. Thus when we have
inadequate amounts of energy the person
cannot experience relaxation, happiness,
joy and contentment. Thus they are
depressed!!
The non-drug treatment for this condition
and therefore depression is the adoption
of the hypoglycemic diet.
This condition can be medically tested by
a special test, described at our web site
as:
articles ---> “testing for
hypoglycemia...”
thus it turns out to be that depression is
a nutritional disorder.
