     My husband has not suffered a depressed spell this winter.  SAD runs in
his mother's side of the family.  Russian/Ashkenazi Jews who are prone to
depression anyway.  Since he has been on the Atkins, he has not had any
depressed or panic attacks.  Fat has definitely leveled out his mood swings.
