Bone Blues Affect More Than Your Skeleton

Of interest to anyone with depression and/or bones ravaged by an ED: link between osteoporosis and depression.  I am crunched for time and didn't get to look up the primary literature they cited, but the conclusions drawn in the article are intriguing.  There have been a lot of studies coming out recently that show the skeleton is much more than a simple framework, it is actually a major participant in hormonal regulation (including fat metabolism, and, apparently depression).
