There's no getting around the documentation that cites the Amish to be a healthy and hearty people, not overly given to depression (probably because of the support of community) nor anxiety disorders (probably because of their active faith). Granted, I'm not saying that you can't have anxiety and depression AND have great faith---because you certainly can. But the overall sense of community of the Amish, the support and nuturing that others may offer is a liberating freedom towards health that many of us Englishers might lack. So, read some Amish books and grab a piece of that community for yourself. It might help, and it certainly can't hurt!
