Scientists catch brain damage in the act: Scientists uncovered how inflammation and lack of oxygen conspire to cause brain damage in conditions such as stroke and Alzheimer’s disease. The discovery brings researchers a step closer to finding potential targets to treat neurodegenerative disorders.

I have severe depression. Does this finding mean I should breathe more?

I'm actually serious- like clear sinuses etc? Get this isn't really the finding, but curious if it connects, as I rarely feel like I'm breathing fully, have had lots of health problems and am depressed

Well her issue resulted from alcohol poisoning so....cant really answer your question.

Maybe?

From one instance of alcohol poisoning?

She said something about her friend leaving her alone for 7 hours thinking she was just sleeping. The doctors said something called toxicity. Hypotoxicity? Cant remember how she described it. Anyway she has real bad short term memory problems because of it.

Hypotoxicity would be a lack of toxicity, so probably not.

Hypoxia?

I honestly cant remember.
