Measles cases rose 79% worldwide last year, according to latest WHO data.
AP - Emily Hollenbeck lived with a deep, recurring depression she likened to a black hole, where gravity felt so strong and her limbs so heavy she could barely move. She knew the illness could kill her. Both of her parents had taken their lives. She was willing to try something extreme: Having electrodes implanted in her brain as part of an experimental therapy. Researchers say the treatment —- called deep brain stimulation, or DBS — could eventually help many of the nearly 3 million Americans like her with depression that resists other treatments. It’s approved for conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy, and many doctors and patients hope it will become more widely available for depression soon.

Before taking such extreme measures did they make sure she was getting enough vitamin D3? In a lot of cases depression and anxiety respond well to vitamin D3. At minimum use 10,000 iu, but if you still feel depressed or anxious it's safe to take more.
