the idea that a deficiency of endogenous opiods could be a cause of depression is very interesting. it would explain some of the connection between chronic pain and depression, as well as obesity and depression. i wonder if there is anything in the medical literature about biochemical lesions that lead to this? hell, it could conceivably be connected to some autoimmune diseases too (which go with depression and chronic pain), since opiods modulate the immune response.
its funny because i was considering this just a few days ago, that maybe i have a low level off these peptides.
