Gingrich loses his mind...

And the establishment treats acts like he's not crazy...Obama Derangement Syndrome can take some strange people to some strange places. Disgraced former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), in all his pseudo-intellectual glory, has become so enveloped in his own garbage, he appears to have suffered some kind of severe head trauma.

Gingrich's trip to Crazy Town began quite a while ago, but in recent months, his unbridled hatred of the president has pushed him to the point of sputtering, incoherent rage. Earlier in the summer, Gingrich insisted that Obama and his allies represent "as great a threat to America as Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union once did."

Johns Hopkins: Depression|Anxiety on vitamin D|depression in older adults

Low levels of vitamin D are common in older adults, often causing high levels of parathyroid hormone (hyperparathyroidism) -- and both may be associated withdepression in older adults, according to a study in the Archives of General Psychiatry (Volume 65, page 508).

Researchers in the Netherlands measured blood levels of vitamin D and parathyroid hormone in 1,282 residents ages 65 to 95 and assessed any symptoms of depression. Twenty-six participants had major depression and 169 had minor depression.

Researchers found that overall, 39% of men and 57% of women had insufficient levels of vitamin D. These levels were 14% lower in participants with either major or minor depression than in those without depression. In addition, parathyroid hormone levels were 5% higher in people with minor depression and 33% higher in those with major depression than in those who were not depressed.
