I was just wondering what aspects of the depression gave reasons for us to change. Like how was it a big part in making Canada what it is today?

Chosen Answer:

Infrastructure: Trans-Canada Highway with several routes (at the time through Ontario thanks to the Premier of the day, named Frost). There were many local infrastructure projects such as sewer, water and hydroelectric lines being built and/or installed. Telephone and telegraph were also extended to some otherwise isolated areas of the day but telephone really came later as a network.

What kind of herbs should I take if I am having insomnia?

I notice that I have insomnia which is something that I have never dealt with before and it is making it hard for me to go to sleep. I have heard that Sleeping pills are bad because they make the body dependent on them later on but I feel like I have a hard time going to sleep.

Chosen Answer:

benadryl (diphenhydramine) is a great drug to help you sleep. It is sold over the counter (OTC) in most pharmacies. The best part is that it is non-habit forming, so your body will not get dependent on it.

Another drug to try is melatonin. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone in the body. Taking it medicinally can help with insomnia. Do not take melatonin if you have high blood pressure (can raise BP), diabetes (can raise blood sugar), depression (can make symptoms worse), or a seizure disorder (can potentiate seizures)

One more option could be Valerian root extract. This has been shown to help treat insomnia. Do not drink alcohol with this drug, or other CNS depressants because they could increase each others effect in the body

I have been going through a lot my whole life and I finally have an appointment with a psychiatrist on Wednesday but it’s really making me nervous. I am starting to have doubts on whether or not I should go. Should I still go or should I try and beat this depression and anxiety on my own ? What are things I can do on a daily basis to make myself feel better ? Any advice ? I feel like I should go but I have anxiety just thinking about going .

Chosen Answer:

Take a deep breath and go to your appointment. Nothing ventured , nothing gained. Proper diet and exercise will help as well.
