Shocking finds!

While writing my rough draft, I found several interesting finds.  One, is that your past can be a cause of Parkinson's disease.  To elaborate further, if, in your past, you for instance drank a lot, took many drugs whether prescribed or not and lead an otherwise unhealthy lifestyle, you could develop PD.  Also, while it is not genetic, you may consider that if you mother carried on a not so good lifestyle and you followed in her tracks, you may develop it as well.

Depression is caused from many things including abuse, neglect, and stress.  People who harbor thoughts and feelings can create a depressive state of mind.  Depression is a chemical imbalance that can be from the lack of serotonin, dopamine, norephorephrine.  I am trying to find the link between putting yourself in a depressive state, and whether or not you can determine if you will be a depressed person or not.

Thoughts to ponder!  This paper on Depression and Parkinson's disease has opened my eyes to a lot of new information.

Happy writing!  :)
