I was perusing a blog that referred to "nature deficit disorder," a term that the blogger apparently found in Andrew Weil's book Spontaneous Happiness. While I don't always love his newagey-ness, one thing I took away from the book is a habit of taking a vegan dha/epa supplement. It apparently can help with mild depression, but, more importantly for me with my cholesterol issues, is a good replacement for fish oil. I wonder if it might help you at all?<br /><br />That said, I lovelovelove cities, but I also need time with foliage around me. You're lucky to have the park so close by - for me, it's a little harder. In the summer, though, I have lunch in the medicinal herb garden on campus, and try to get out in nature every weekend. At least I can get to the water easily!<br /><br />Get outside! :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
