I don't think tere is a connection...that has to do with an irregularity in the way the body produces those chemicals.....I have a friend who's father suffers from depression/Schitzophrenia/bipolar and he never fought a fight in his life...it's a genetic problem....
Does that mean I'm gonna end up a nut aswell
