Re: Depression in High Achievers

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/drug

Read definition 1. Vitamins in the form you described above falls under this definition of a drug. It really doesn't matter whether or not it is natural.

Also, The link I was sent to suggested there is a correlation between perfectionism and high achieving. It stated that perfectionists tend to have depression. I'm not arguing that point. Perfectionists may. I don't know, I'm not one. However, I'm saying that perfectionists are just one of many types of high achievers. I'm the kind of guy that comes acrossed as lazy, doesn't study much for tests, and often don't pay attention in class. Definitely not a perfectionist or your "standard" high achiever. However, I've got a 3.7 GPA and am half way to my mechanical engineering degree. It isn't about what a person does that makes a person depressed, its how they choose to accomplish.

Disclaimer: Not suggesting everybody does things my way, just saying they do work for me.
