depresed people live longer that non-depresed!

Get this! New study says that depresed people actually live longer that normal or non-depresive people.

I personally think thats a joke, cause depresed people all they think about is dying. I dont know who makes this surveys and stupid scientific research. But it seems to me that they are just wasting there time on this stupid study and should put their time and rearch on to something more productive.

First you hear a study say cofee is good, a month later another one says cofee is bad and you should not even have it.

Then another study says wine is good to prevent heart attacks then two weeks later another study says youre more likely to have one is you drink wine.

Now this stupid study with the depresed people!

Shishhhh!

i'll probley live to be over 100 then! no actually i dont believe that neither

Lately, there have been so many contradictions it's not even funny ... eggs, coffee, equal, water ...

depressed people live longer? I'd believe it.

Look around these boards... all the teen angst and people just wanting to commit suicide, and announce it at FK - I guess they would live longer.

Just to get even more attention :rolleyes:

... by sucking the life out of everyone else ... ?

indeed Lannie.

who wants to bet that there will be at least one more teen angst fueled or whiny post here at FK in the next month? any takers?

why post it here!?

No takers here, mange! I don't like to lose :)

I don't know ... I was wondering that myself, but I've realized, too - it's not a phenomenon specific to FK ... it's on boards all over ... I don't get it either ...

well just a guess... forums like FK is like a community where those teens can find other teens who share their hormones-laden problems and therefore the only ones who can understand them... :D

bah wat a dumb research... do u really wanna live longer if u have to be depressed everyday?? i'd rather pull the trigger on myself..

hmmm I believe it. If your depressed but not suicidal then why not... I mean depressed people stay inside all the time this reduces the risk of car accident, death by lightening, umm insane dogs chasing you down, and skin cancer.

As for the posting ordeal. I think they do it cause they dont feel like they have any friends in the real world so they hit up the cyber world. Here we are a heck of alot more excepting. There for they feel a bond and need to get sympathy.

That’s right! Im one hundred and one and still spitting mad!!

o really :D
but i m losing my hair , what about them :)

losing hair? live with it. fact of life. some women like that... sign of virility.

you'll be ok. cry into your pillow. be a man.

losing hair due to depression and tension :( i m only 23 . o got girls , plenty of them they dont mind but its like its too early for me to lose them .

ok ok i was posing ok , i thank God for everything :)

feels like pulling my hair out

maybe all the depressed people live longer by ratio.
maybe its depressed people that go on the killing sprees. they get shot by the police, but they kill say an average of ten people.

that means on average, more non-depressed people are dying than depressed people :D

Something interesting, did you know when you frown or make a angry face, it uses more muscles in your face? While making a happy face, it uses less muscles.

Thats why "sometimes" if your always sad or angry, you might look older faster or something.

r japanese depressed peoples ?
average japanese age i think is above 55 or 60 or even higher .

japanese lead faster paced/more stressful lives.

Gerbick: thats true but what about their daily meal of fish and rice?

did you know that Chinese men distribute fat around their stomach better than Europeans and US? Post here if you want to know why...(nothing rude or anything, I promise)

I think peoples perceptions of DEPRESSED are a bit skewed myself..

I am off work at the moment, have been for FIVE WEEKS guess what with? I'm not suicidal, I'm not gonna kill everyone, I don't sit indoors all day...

NOW STOP TAKING THE MICK OUT OF DEPRESSED PEOPLE BEFORE I GUN YOU DOWN AND THEN HANG MYSELF!!! WITHOUT EVEN LEAVING MY HOUSE.... ok?

I wouldn't say daily, but seafood and rice - and sake, rice wine! - is a major part of their diet.

ok. got my attention.

WHY?

What about people that are always FK'ing, do they live longer than normal people?

FK'ers have shown - and I have links - to be more self-destructive than anything else.

so... no.

i think im gonna die when om 102!

Holy cow, I am going to live forever! Woo hoo

crud, that's gonna cost me a couple of years. ;)

I'm Chinese and I get fat around my stomach. :( I've been trying to lose weight there. So what's your explanation for what you said in your post.

hehe... hard to believe but it is because of soya beans!!

Apparently, Europeans and US men's excess fat is stored in front of the stomach (sort of like beer belly) while Chinese possibly due to a diet of soya beans stores the fat around the stomach area.

I think the study was reported in Men's Health or maybe in one of the doc newspapers/newsletters (my sister is a research doc) -- the study showed that soya beans break the fat down into "small" pieces making it easier for the body to distribute the fat evenly.
