the dysthymic vegan

dysthymic disorder - "Dysthymia is a mild, but chronic, form of depression. Dysthymia (dis-THI-me-uh) symptoms usually last for at least two years, and often for much longer than that. Although dysthymia symptoms may be less intense than those of depression, dysthymia can actually affect your life more seriously because it lasts for so long. With dysthymia, you may lose interest in normal daily activities, feel hopeless, lack productivity and have a low self-esteem." 
-according to the folks at the Mayo Clinic


vegan - "Veganism is a type of vegetarian diet that excludes meat, eggs, dairy products and all other animal-derived ingredients. 'Vegan' refers to either a person who follows this way of eating or to the diet itself."
-according to vegetarian.about.com
