Staying Upbeat and Positive

January 6, 2000

Gretchen, just read the article you referenced on this subject.

I have always been a firm believer on positive thinking and it's

ability to overcome obstacles. I also think there's a genetic/physiological

component to mood so some people do struggle more than others with mood and

depression. Personally, I am a

very upbeat person but in addition to CMT I also have a strong family

history of depression and mental disorders so I have seen and lived through

both sides of this coin. Some of my family members don't understand why

other family members struggle so much with mood and

depression... From what I've seen, depression is more debilitating than

the CMT if it is not medically recognized and managed.

This CMT community is a great forum for getting positive feedback

and encouragement from each other.

I totally agree with this. I have both CMT and depression. I am now taking

paxil and feel much better. Now someone make a pill for CMT.
