A good resource

I've finally found a good, well-rounded resource to learn about MAOIs. You don't often read a journalistic view of MAOIs. Rather, you read soulless language churned out by what seems to be a robot. This description of MAOIs from HealthyPlace.com is excellent. It is thorough, yet interesting. And it includes accounts from patients and doctors.

Here's a line from this site that stood out, for me at least: "If you're very vulnerable to depression but don't suffer from the classic symptoms of major depression, MAOIs could be for you. They are especially good if you seem mildly depressed, if you become depressed more gradually, or if your primary complaints are boredom and apathy."

It has been established that MAOIs are good for atypical depression. But this is the first time that I've heard MAOIs being good for being "mildly" depressed. Well, my depression could be considered atypical and certainly mild. Other accounts of MAOIs make it seem as if it is meant for only the most "severely" depressed patients. DO NOT be thrown off by the term "mild" depression. I would argue that mild depression can be almost as debilitating, destructive, and painful as "severe" depression.
